COLD!!

Spring is here but someone forgot to turn off the cold air! This week the temps went into the freezing point and we even had a few days of frost. This isn't a huge deal except when you have a garden full of veggies tying to grow. Frost on vegetable plants is not a good thing, it will kill them! So with the freeze coming we had to do something! Troye was at work so the boys and I gathered all the sheets and items we could find to cover the plants. It was hard work but we got it done! The next morning there was a heavy frost so I was so glad that we covered them. I uncovered them so they could get the warm sun during the day. Troye was off for the day so we worked on creating a better barrier for the plants. It worked great too! We had two more days of freezing temps and frost. Today we took all of the covers off the plants and it seems that most of the plants survived! Yea!! I sure hope we are done with the cold weather!
