April 25th: Uncovering strawberry, windy and very cold.
April 26th: Unloading peppers, etc., not quite so cold but cold at night, freezing, ice every night.
April 27th: Finished uncovering strawberries, the new beds look green but now very light. Old beds look bad. Started transplanting tomatoes.
April 28th: Planted cucumbers, 5 sacks, also planting some tomatoes in lines 4½ & 5½ in. Think 5½ in. are small enough for some slow work. Also planted 1st strawberries. 12 Rows next. Jerry's shack, 12 bloom plants from Baldwin.
April 29th: Sunday, windy but a lot warmer. Went for a drive out to Carlisle, took a few snaps by a creek there.
April 30th: Cold & showery all day, planted a few more strawberries.
May 1st: Fair but cool, planning strawberries.
May 2nd: Started planting four celery beds; fine & warm, about 68°.
May 3rd: Finished planting celery, 14,500 and 500 cauliflowers, warm but partly cloudy. They wilted quite a bit but guess they will come up all night.
