A sad state of affairs


I continued to cover my plants every night, what a good gardener. Starting to question if I planted to early. Who am I kidding I am not questioning myself. I know exactly what I am doing. Even if it is against all the rules. I know, and I am going to be weeks ahead of everyone in Cache Valley................ya right!


Why should I listen to friends like Suzie, or Dawn , they have only been gardening in Cache Valley for 20 years, what could they know?


I got lazy last Sunday, either that or I didn't really pay attention to those reliable, local weather casters I mention before. I did not bother to cover anything, after all it has to be spring by now.




DEAD, FROZEN! My tomato plant and two squash plants, lost one bean for sure, the one that was soooo tall after starting in my kitchen. The other too are looking a little shaky. Loser! Oh well, a lesson learned and no big expense.


I do have to mention that the cold weather crops, the broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage look great! Also the herb garden, it gets sun all morning and then shade by late afternoon, but I thing the fence helped protect it from the frost, it all looks pretty healthy, so not all is lost.


I guess maybe I should listen to my friends a little more....maybe....we will see
