A last flirt with cold weather?
The temperatures up in the mountains are predicted to get down to 27°F, as the Tuesday night low. Brrr. Happily, my mountain beds only have cool-season greens, lettuce, beets, and sugar snap peas!
I'm hoping for a cool April and May so maybe I'll actually have something to harvest.
Here in the Piedmont, my fingerling potatoes are sprouting nicely (especially evident in the grow bag) and my flats of spinach, lettuce, and mixed greens look pretty decent, too.
The garlic, leeks, and chives are all doing well, too, undeterred by a cool March, apparently.
I've snagged tomatoes and peppers to plant, from our spring plant sale last weekend, so I'm set (I'd better bring them inside for Tuesday evening here, too; the temperature is forecast for 36°F, not a warm-season friendly temperature.)
