Frozen

Last weekend, we had freezing temperatures down to 22 degrees or so. Unfortunately, the wind blew the plastic top off the greenhouse. We lost at least a third of all our seedlings. Very sad. I need to re-order several seed packets now. We're just both glad that we aren't ma and pa depending on these crops so our family can EAT!

On Sunday, we finished loading up beds #2 and #3 in the side yard (about 20 wheelbarrow loads of compost). D. started staining (aka moisture protecting) the trellises we'll be using for the berries. That was our Sunday accomplishments last week, with D. recovering from a week+ of a bad cold/sinus infection.

Here is an analysis of our compost that we got back from the county last week (click on the picture and it should be more legible). We'll do the amending that's needed in the coming week. Really hoping to plant soon if temperatures cooperate!
