Today the first of my transplants went in. They were some red Russian kale and broccoli that I started inside before I left on vacation. Consequently they are very leggy and I am not very hopeful about their survival but I figured I might as well plant them anyways.
The asparagus is still doing great, it is now producing about a lb a week, and I am still waiting for a couple plants to come up. The asparagus beetles are out though and seem to be enjoying my plants.
I also finished building my trellis for the tomatoes. The holes were all drilled and the sided all ripped down to size. It is going to be 6 feet tall, 3 feet wide at the bottom and 2 feet wide at the top, for a little extra support. The sides are ¾” square pcs that I ripped out wider boards from a skid. It is going to be 11’ long with a support on both ends and the middle. It is only going to work for 1 row and on the other 2 rows I am going to use 3’ wooded stakes as well as a few tomato cages that I have.
