Want to see an anxious gardener get angry? Just wait until after a snow! Last night we were expecting rain and I should have realized this would probably mean snow. Remind me to come back in my next life as a weather reporter, you only have to be right 50% of the time. This morning I quickly added frost cloth to the newly planted grape vines, lavender, pea plants and mint. Now it's fingers crossed that this all survives!
It's funny because each year I can't wait to start gardening. This year I've been trying to focus on getting the hardscape and the soil mixtures ready telling myself that I can't plant until after Mother's Day. Still, a few things slipped into our car and fell into the ground completely without my notice. Yep, garden fairies!
So, while I'm staring out the window and praying to the snow, soil, and plant gods this morning I hope everyone is off to a great, or at least better than mine, day!
I was surprised to wake up to the snow too. That and no cell service...again....wish I could say my day was off to a good start, alas, no.
ReplyDeleteAhh, that is the worst! I'm sorry. Hopefully things will start warming up soon. Xo

Kelly, I agree. Back to Eden was an amazing and inspiring movie. I found it on Amazon one day and I was hooked, have watched it twice! Thanks for sharing.
DeleteWithHazel- we have more snow to come so I hope i don't lose anything also. I'm going back out today to secure the frost cloth.
I'm so glad I didn't plant when the temps were so unseasonably warm. Yep, down in the 20s the last two nights. Hope you don't lose anything.

I hope that you managed to save your plants
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean! I have been hesitant to put anything in the ground. However today I planted my potato's...but I think you are higher in elevation that I am. I plan to put some herbs in my new bed later this weekend, so the weather better behave! Good luck!
