Weather?

So much for the predicted rain and cloudy days ahead... now, they're saying sunny and no more rain really. Yeah, I'll believe that when it happens.

I don't know why I believe the weather forecasts anymore--this past winter, I remember vividly checking the weather online at about 8:45 a.m. Forecast: 40's, cloudy, maybe some rain. 10 minutes later it was below freezing and snowing....

Anyway, the temperatures should still be good for hardening off plants, but you might want to watch their sun exposure the first day or two. And, make sure you water them! Wind and sun are a lot more drying than our houses sometimes.

Happy Gardening! I'm going to post pictures soon of my little estate.

The Big Freeze

We're expecting freezing temperatures this coming Monday and Tuesday (low of 29 degrees). So, wait on any iffy crops until after then if you still haven't planted them (little flowers and such). If things are in the ground, you might want to cover them up with sheets if they're not very cold hardy.

Does anyone know what spring crops should be protected and which ones can take the cold? I've got pea shoots coming up, broccoli, greens, etc..... I also HAD bok choy, spinach, and some lettuce, but I think the little bunnies and squirrels have been munching away.
