Vines under glass:

Vines under glass:

Vines growing under glass will require constant attention at this time of year. Tie the shoots down to the supporting wire. When the bunch of Grapes appear, pinch out the point of the shoot carrying it at about two leaves beyond the bunch 

Sow beets, carrots, lettuce, and radishes 
Plant herbs like as thyme, sage, parsley, chives and basil 

Transplants plants can become less stressed if you put them out on a cloudy, calm day. Unfortunately,  many gardeners may need to transplant  only when they have the time, regardless of the weather. Strong sun and wind can be hard on new transplants, so to over come this, set out plants in the late afternoon when the wind comes down and the plants have overnight to acclimate. Giving shade and wind protection with berry baskets, small crates, or screens will help. Mulching helps since it lowers the rate at which water evaporates from the soil and controls the soil temperature.
