Catching Up - March 29, 2009

Who would have guessed snow?! Not me! Yesterday morning I was quickly rigging up supports so I could put plastic cover over the gardens. Luckily I found the right supplies at Home Depot - some 2 foot rebar and some plastic tubing that was already looped in a way that created a nice looped support. I was quite cold as I hack-sawed the tubing outside. I can't believe this because we got at least an inch of rain earlier. Anyway, I woke up this morning to find heavy, wet snow weighing down the plastic. My plan had only worked 1/2 way. Hopefully everything will recover. The yard is a mess from all of the precipitation (remember the erosion problem?) and they are talking about more rain all week! I need to get daylilies divided and moved, and the compost bin moved, and 2 more raised beds to make, and...and...and...How will I get it all done with all this rain? Guess I shouldn't complain. It will be dry soon enough. At least the lettuce is happy!
