Thanks. I'll plant them in that order once it gets warmer, although I suppose I could plant the carrots now.

The temp. is forcasted to be 33f on Monday night...Do I need to cover my lettuce, onions, and radishes that night?

Nope. Lettuce, onions, radishes, spinach, leeks, broccoli, etc. can tolerate a frost, so no need to cover them.

I have an entire nursery yard filled to the brim with goodies. Most of the tender/expensive stuff is in the hoop house. Hourly forecast shows it getting down to 33, but not until 7am, and the sun will be right up thereafter, so fingers-crossed that all of my stock at work survives.

Our store up in Randolph got 2.5” of SNOW today. Fun, fun, fun!

Our sales were terrible. It was cold, windy, and it sleeted on us, then rained buckets, then the sun came out...and it repeated that cycle all d@mn day, LOL!

I brought a ton of blooming hydrangea into the store and lined the main aisles with them. It looks STUNNING, but customers were not in the mood to buy today.

Heck, I wasn’t in the mood to be there either today, LOL! Maybe tomorrow will be better. Partly sunny and in the 50’s. This truly was the WORST Mother’s Day Saturday sales day we’ve had in 5 years. Grrrrrrr!
