The worst of the cold temperatures appears to be over with a low tonight supposed to be 8 degrees But last night was a brute - lower than anyone anticipated reaching almost minus 8. We have basically lost most of everything outside, and also in the little greenhouse. Not only the plants themselves suffered but it was so cold the soil in the pots actually froze hard. Today we spent taking all the covers off, and removing the dead tomatoes from the pots and hanging baskets, and generally feeling sad. We have tomatoes enough to replace the dead ones ( the ones that were safe inside on tables), but it is thinking about all the work put into it, which is now gone. We are going to the open house at the Spring Hill Farms tomorrow where we buy our flowers and veg such as cukes so hope to replace some of what is lost. We have also ordered some fresh asparagus from them so look forward to a good feed.
Wondering Cathy if you got into your garden yet. As discouraging as it may be, I am still anxious for these nice warmer temps and to be able to putter away and get back to usual!! I must be crazy, eh?
Well, it's the end of a long day, so will cut this short and hit the bed. Take care
