Happy last week of May, whew I think we're through the last frost threat but always worth paying attention to night times for the next couple of weeks! First week of June seems to be the safest and most productive time to get the frost tender plants in. To let your plants get the strongest root system and get settled into it's new home.......remove any flowers and even the buds! Seems like such a hard thing to do but it is a gift to the plant. If flowers or fruit have set, the plant will focus it's energy on gowing the flower/fruit. No matter what, the plant will do it's best to survive and produce what it can!

It's a Great time to plant, lots of moisture and temperatures look seasonal.
Some planting tips:
- plants need room for their roots to grow, pay attention to suggested spacing
- plant short season crops like radish, spinach, leaf lettuce, arugula between slower growing plants like tomatoes and peppers (these short season crops are very shallow rooted and won't affect the deeper roots of tomatoes/peppers)
- plant your tomatoes, pepper to half way up the stem in the ground. the stem in the ground will form more roots and your plant will be twice as resilient
