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.


Oh quit gloating ! grin We did get a little sun today , but it's still
chilly enough out that I have a fire in the stove . And the forecast is
still for 31° overnight .

I've got my fingers in my ears and singing La, La to keep from hearing
about the cold weather. I DO NOT LIKE COLD ANYTHING BUT ICED TEA, COLA,
AND THE ODD BEER.


I'm still laughing from George Wills comment this morning calling it
"negative global warming".
