We had a busy week last week getting plants in the ground, including peppers, eggplant, okra, and a few others. I hope everyone enjoyed Easter and got to eat some good food. We are back in the field putting out tomato, pepper, and eggplant stakes and tying them up so the wind doesn't knock them over. Loos like one more cool front is coming but nothing threating when it comes to cold temps. I did see some pecan trees blooming and leaves coming out so we shouldn't see another frost if you believe that old saying.
