Mrs. F.G. has gone overboard again and planted lots of seeds for tomatoes and peppers. But I think she's run out of space in the basement, so she's been bringing plants, especially the tomatoes, up to sit in the sun at the front of the garage. Hardening off season has begun, but April is not co-operating, staying cold and windy.
I counted roughly 100 little tomato plants sunning on the driveway the other day. We've been watching night-time temperatures carefully, though they can easily be lifted into the garage, which holds heat well.This is a new type of planter, a tower, which rotates easily, and they stack. I'll be very interested to see how it works - the things you do to grow veggies in a very small garden.
But then what happened the night before last, the temperature dropped below freezing. That morning there were not only a few flakes in the air, there was snow on the ground.
