The Garden Fairy

It is very frosty this morning. I have 7 degrees. I am working on getting cold frames built so I can use them in the Fall. My husband is in the process of welding frames to put over the raised beds so I can attach plastic or shade cloth to them when needed. This will be great cause sometimes in the early Summer we get hail. This will help protect the crops too. My first year I grew lettuce, I went out to see if I should pick it yet and decided to wait one more day. That afternoon, a huge hail storm came through and wiped everything out. Fortunatly, it was the best thing for the lettuce, (Leaf type) In two weeks I had the best looking lettuce. It even came back stronger and healthy too.

The Sun is shinning today. Maybe it will be warm up!
