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. I cut a small serving of rhubarb this morning. Dessert at lunch. Discovered that 2 of the 3 rhubarb plants DH got last year have poked their heads through. Still watching the last one. These are fairly expensive, supposed to be red ones. Once they get going good I may start taking cuttings and replace some of the existing plants that don't do very well. Guess in a few days I will start transplanting some of my tomato and pepper seedlings into larger quarters. Am even more sure that they are not going outside until sometime in May. I noticed yesterday that some of the spinach and bok choy I planted earlier this week has sprouted , but the lettuce hasn't . We're expecting a light freeze tonight , so I'll be covering the hot box with a tarp ... I'll be moving those seedling out into the garden in a couple of weeks , weather permitting . I'll be checking the 10 day forecast first though , don't want a repeat of last year . It froze the night I planted them and cost me a third of my tomato seedlings . Her daffodils sure are purty ! -- Snag |
