We’re expecting 32 tonight but the big lake will keep us closer to 40. We bought a pickup load of mulch (about $100) and additized our raised beds and turned them over.
All the plants remain indoors for another week. Once again we’re wondering if we started seeds too early (Feb 10-12.) All are healthy and ready to go out.
We do have a fantastic crop of may apples...
I’ve been covering my lilac for the last three nights with a sheet here in IN. We had the threat of possible snow flurries early this morning. Its my first year for lilac and I’m so excited. Someone from my former work gave me a snip from hers last year. It has over 6 blooms on it. I was shocked thinking it would take a least three years to bloom.
Sounds like some good progress. Nice to have that lake warming effect. I have been so busy this year, I have not started a single thing indoors, but I have also found February to be a bit early for seed starting in the past - it’s the Missouri weather - always resists those early bird efforts. LOL
