It is Tomato Planting Time!

Hello gardening friends!

It is May 19th and the temperatures are finally right for planting tomatoes and other warm season veggies. Tomatoes need soil temperatures of 60 degrees and night temperatures consistently above 55 degrees. In Portland we are holding steady above 50 degrees at night and the next week forecast looks good. This is what we have all been waiting for. Yahoo!

It is now a good time to begin planting:
Basil
Beans
Cucumbers
Corn
Eggplant
Melons
Peppers
Pumpkins
Summer Squash
Tomatoes
Tomatillos
Winter Squash
Zucchini

Please see these post for tips on planting tomatoes and cucumbers. Have fun! Jolie
