Week 6

I had big plans for Week 6, plans that were foiled by Mother Nature and her evil accomplice, Snow.

Weird March Snowfall

So, we're all ready to put seeds and plants into the garden, and on Friday, I get home early and take a good look at the weather, and the forecast is calling for "wintry mix" and an overnight weekend low of 28 degrees!  There's no way we're moving plants out of the greenhouse in that kind of weather.  Saturday is chilly, and Sunday morning we woke up to sleet.  Snow flurries came later.

Garden Gnome

There was one addition to the garden this week...Angel picked up a sweet orange garden gnome at Target.  I'm definitely not into yard statuary, but this little guy just seems right in the corner of the garden. 

Strawberry plants with snowcover

I did cover some hyacinths that were blooming, but everything else should withstand a little cold snap just fine.  The forecast for the upcoming weekend looks dreary, but it shouldn't dip below freezing.  Seeds will go in the ground, but maybe not greenhouse plants quite yet.
