First turnips of the season! I had some bacon from St. John Feed and Seed, LLC which I rendered for some smokey flavor and sauteed the turnips, added some plain water and the turnip greens, a little sugar, salt, pepper, and some fresh lemon juice at the end. Please share your turnip recipes, I've got plenty more turnips to eat!

Q: According to Purdue University, this warm weather vegetable can be planted out in the garden in southern Indiana from May 10 to June 15. A: What is a tomato plant. I have lots of extras, $3 each. Contact me if you want some. I have Indigo Clackamas Blueberry, Coyote, Black Cherry, Early Cascade, Ananas Noir, Aunt Ginny's Purple, Pruden's Purple, Chocolate Stripe, Federle, Carbon, and Blondkopfchen. I also have multiple kinds of chili pepper plants, Yellow Monster bell pepper, Galaxy of Stars Eggplant, and Tomitillo. Quantities are limited.

Looks like the weather has taken a turn for the worse! I'm not going to be planting out any cold sensitive plants until the middle of the month. Tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, basil, and many others are safe and sound in my greenhouse. I will have extras of many things including heirloom and open pollinated tomatoes, but I'm going to wait for this cold snap to pass before I set them out. This is the second year in a row this has happened! Check out this link: https://www.weather.gov/ind/may2020cold #:~:text=Roughly%20the%20first%20half%20of,into%20the%20area%20from%20Canada.
