Holy cats! It’s so cold here that the heat came on last night! Temps dropped into the low 40’s and the wind has been keeping up a constant dialogue, sweeping across my recently planted veggie babies at speeds between 15 and 20 MPH with gusts into the 30 MPH range.
Zuchetta share space with blueberry bushes.
All of my warm weather plants are speed dialing their lawyers.
But it is May. And there always is a bit of back and forth with the weather before everything settles down and the warm nights and warmer days of summer arrive.
I did bank straw up around the peppers, eggplant, zuchetta, summer squash and tomatoes. And I talked with them a bit about the current conditions and the expected warming trend.
I may lose some of my plants. And some of them may just slow down their growth but, by and large, most of them will be okay. And so it goes in the beautiful but not always predictable world of growing your own organic produce.
How are your newly planted gardens faring?
