Nuc to full size box

 Nuc to full sized box

This past weekend John and I finally moved the last of the three Nuc hives that we have to a full sized 10 frame box.

We both know now that he should hold the camera sideways to get a full frame shot. Hopefully we can post more a little later.
Beets are up.
The beets that were planted mid February are growing wide open. It took a full two weeks for them to germinate.They are an experimental planting. Just to see how late in spring beets could be planted and still make something before bolting into seed. We'll see if the planting dates that LSU suggested will actually work. The latest date they gave was the 28th of February. With our early spring, thanks Phil, I am wondering if they will make it.
I have a good collection of used bricks and several old wood framed windows. So I put together as a cold frame in the garden to get a start of tomatoes, bell peppers, and egg plants. So far only some of the tomatoes are coming up. I think that the soil isn't quite warm enough for the others.
Hope to get around to canning some pork meat today, that should be the next post.
