Glad I didn't succumb to temptation! Got a hard, killing, frost not 10 days ago, right on our "last frost date"; got another light frost last night. Also got an inch and a half plus of badly needed rain since late Wednesday night. Not far from us, they got 1-2" of snow; we also got a bit of light hail. Hard to believe it hit 90 on Tuesday!

I did transplant pink banana squash into the garden a few days ago, but planted through black plastic. It was wide enough that I could cover the seedlings for the night. At least the onions, potatoes, spinach, carrots, peas, broccoli & Brussels sprouts loved the cool turn, as did the newly transplanted English violets.

Today, we bought 4 - 6" pots, with 3 plants each, of cilantro. I could really care less about the cilantro leaves, but I want the seeds: whole coriander seeds for brining & rubs for our pastrami. The first experimental attempt came out great.
