11 February 2012

freezing

I should have listened to A. He reminded me that february is always our coldest month. But I was beguiled by the springlike weather and started planting anyways. A few nights ago we had a hard frost, then a drifting of snow, and tonight the wind is blasting shrieks around the house. My garlics are well-tucked in with an extra layer of leaf mulch, and the rhubarb still covered with glass cloches and leaves, but I was rash and uncovered the Strawberry patch.
I do hope they survive.
