My first GBBD-Mar 2013

A blogger that I have just started reading (May Dreams Gardens) had posted a fun idea this morning...Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day.  Every 15th just post what is bloomin' in your yard.

Should have trusted my instincts

Things have been a little busy around these parts.  Between a sick dog, new plants, cookie booths, and freezing temperatures...yes, it is a little busy.  

I kept an eye on the weather report.  Wind advisory; so no bonfires.  Temps in the high 30's.  Okay, should I cover the seedlings or not?  The new plants; cover them or not?  Well, it will only get down to 38 and no freeze warnings.  I guess they will be fine.  

I should have trusted my instincts.  It got down to 28° F!  I had ice on my windshield!  Man, it was cold this morning.  

I checked the plants after work.  All the butterfly garden seedlings are looking fine.  The tomatoes look rough.  I lost the cherry tomato plant my daughter planted last fall.  Well lesson learned.  Always cover the tomato and pepper plants!

Oh well, I have more seeds.
