It’s going to be below freezing tonight and tomorrow night. Yes, I was too hot in shorts and a T-shirt yesterday.

Maybe my newly planted seeds would be okay, but maybe not, so I covered the ones that didn’t have row cover on already. I had exactly  enough plastic to cover what needed covering. Purely luck; the plastic is left from spring 2012, when we had a cold snap after everything had started growing too early.

I had no more clear plastic, but wanted to protect the few milkweed seedling that have poked their heads up, so I used a plastic dropcloth I’d got to wash rugs when we first moved in. Too light, but better than nothing, and it’s only got to last two nights.

The elderberry cuttings are pretty pissed off already, and they came from…Georgia, I think, so they needed to be protected, but I had pots big enough to do the job.

If my Bistro-in-the-making didn’t look ghetto before, it certainly does now!

Don’t care. Too much time, money and hard labour invested in it already to let a couple of cold nights kill it!
