To save my self aggravation and to support local farms and nurseries, I went
to my favorite farm stand yesterday and got my starts. Sweet Gold, black and
green cherry tomatoes and a grape tomato and 4 cucumber plants. And Ginger
Ale Huechera (yellow green flowers)....

Hopefully today will give be some time to get them in the ground. Depends on
the errands and the weather. This year I'm going to cluster them near the
top of the hill in the perennial bed so watering is easier.

The daffodils have about gone their course and the hostas all seem to have
survived the winter.

IIRC, I am south of you, and I see it is predicted to be 34F
Monday night. Therefore, I am just as happy that I haven't
planted my tomatoes yet. I will need to cart everything into the
garage, just in case it is a teeny bit colder than that.

Good luck with your babies.

Saw the severe weather alert when I loaded the local station's home page.
So, I'll be out covering up the plants tonight. I have plenty of old
blankets. My neighbor is in worse shape. She got many more plants.

Stay warm!

Sigh. I hope your plants survive, Cheryl. I brought my numerous
pots in and decided NOT to get my other tomato plants today. My
rhubarb is out though.

The current forecast is up 1 degree to 35F here, but my specific
location tends to be colder, and I want to play it safe.
