George You call that miserable ? We got up to snow on the ground and low 20's , snowed all night and all morning and the roads are covered and more of the same coming our way later this evening , I told the wife to call in to work ... I grew up driving on snowy roads , but the roads in this area get icy at a glance and a slide off the road up here could end up slidin' off a mountain . My seedlings are doing great , 'maters over 6" tall now . As soon as we get a break in the weather I'll be bustin' butt to get my hot box/mini-greenhouse built . I have a growing problem grin . Today was the first day that I could get to the greenhouse, what with snow 3 times in the past 2 weeks and temps ranging from 3°F to about 30°F. DH was not the most prompt about getting the steps and walks cleared. To top it off the germination on the onion and spinach seeds was poor. Got them moved to the next size tray. Tomorrow I will start some lettuce and herbs. In another week, probably tomatoes and cucumbers. I think my vegetables will be set out late, seeing as how the weather has started off so bad this year. The garden will be small. My back is recovering but I can't predict what I will feel like in May. Things that have not prospered in the past do not get a chance this year. Got to go see what the rhubarb is doing if anything. Here's hoping this year will be successful for everyone. -- USA North Carolina Foothills USDA Zone 7a To find your extension office http://www.csrees.usda.gov/Extension/index.html |
