We had a great Easter, and hope you all did, too! The weather has turned a bit colder for a couple of days, which I’m praying it does not freeze. I will certainly be covering some plants tonight!
I’m pretty sure the sugar snap peas will be ok.
The top photo of cabbage, will need some covering. The bottom photo of onions and Brussels will also need some covering.
The fruit trees in the orchard have all bloomed, as well as the blackberries and blueberries, so hopefully that fruit will set!
Have a good week and hope your gardens preps are going great!
Hi Dino! ☺ I hope you don't get frosty nights! My strawberries and garlic seem fine even though it snowed a little yesterday! I'm starting seeds in my windows today, so exciting! I can't plant anything in the ground until end of May, but at least this year, I'll have a head start!
ReplyDeleteGreat that you have starts ready, Rain! We lost some of a starts a couple of weeks ago, because I was too impatient and put them out too soon! It’s just difficult not to get my hands in the dirt ! Lol ! Thanks so much for stopping by, and get yourself a delightful week!
DeleteI was just looking back at April 2021 on my blog. We had our last frost on April 22!
ReplyDeleteYour garden is off to a great start. Here's hoping we all have a good year for growing.
Well, we got a frost last night, but thank goodness, I had the two beds covered up! When I removed the blankets this morning, the blankets had heavy frost on them. The plants look good, so I’m calling it a Win! Thanks so much for stopping by, Leigh! I am certainly praying we all have bountiful harvests!
DeleteLookin' good! Are the containers with the strawberries in moveable, in case of frost? Are those things in the middle of your beds, for compost additions? We awoke to a couple of inches of snow this AM. A cruel joke of Mother Nature, but it will melt fast and green up the grass.
ReplyDeleteYes, the strawberry beds are removable, but t cover them heavily in hay, and they seem to flourish without my removing them. The hay is easily removed the next morning, and given to the compost pile! The round cages are in fact used to feed veggie cuttings to the beds. It works really great, and we actually have earthworms in our metal beds, that love the cuttings we put in the cages! Hope you get done with the snow soon! My brother in Wyoming actually had 8 inches a couple days ago... late snows make green grass for sure, especially out west! Have a porch sittin day ! Thanks for stopping by Rosalea!
