Saturday
Continue to plant the cole crops.
Still a bit cool for the warm season veges unless they are protected with Remay, Walls of Water or jugs of water.
Mow the grass, it is getting too long.
Soil can be rototilled.
Some aphids around.
Time to make the apple cider vinegar traps for spotted wing drosophila.
Go to: SWD OSU for more info or call your local Extension office.
