Greenhouse Transition

It's all a bit of a guessing game. What will the weather do next? :?

It seems early, but I feel rushed and behind, to start / have ready warm weather crops. Looking at my Farmers Market records, people wanted tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, eggplant, pumpkins, tomatillos at the end of May. This years weather, customers may want to hold off until June. :(

Weather due to change for the warmer soon.
June should still give your area time for the plants to mature & produce.
I just planted some cabbage. I does well as long as it stay above freezing at night. A gamble for my area, but had a few extra & rolled the dice.

we already took down the shelves in one greenhouse and took all the plants out. then planted some plants in the beds for the summer. soon the roof will come off and a shade cloth will go on.
