Default What Happened to Spring?

It was down to 31°F last night and 26°F predicted for tonight. I
covered my onions and spinach with 2 layers of row cover. Took it off
today so they don't cook. Back on tonight. I found some volunteer
lettuce plants yesterday. Dug the up and put them in the greenhouse.
They go back out when it warms up. Thank goodness the peas haven't
germinated yet.

We're having a bit of chill, too. Was high 40's overnight with
mid-low 40's forecast for the next couple of nights; days forecast
70-75°. Nothing in the garden here will find those temps objectionable.

It's 1645 right now and the temp is 81F on the shaded back porch. Lots
of sunshine today and every thing we planted so far is up and growing.
Happy, happy.

Dawg is home from the vet too, picked her up at 1100 this morning. Had
to have her right knee repaired, had a meniscus blow out. She's playing
the poor me game, wanted to be hand fed, have her butt scratched and
rolls those big, brown eyes at us. We missed her during her two and a
half days away. No one to chase the birds out of the garden and to run
the loose cats away.
