Yesterday’s storm was quite a blow.
Fortunately, all our plants were safe inside the beach house.

B. sprouts and peppers are hardened off and will go in the garden this weekend.

We bought some frost blanket material and plastic pipe to cover the raised beds in case it turns cold again...

Here are the pictures you wanted posted. Those sprouts look really healthy.

Yes it was quite windy here too. Fortunately, we didn’t have anything we needed to worry about, and were quite thankfull to get the rain.

Hubby had just finished putting up the swimming pool, and rigging the downspouts to fill it. It’s more than a third full about 1900 gallons from just one rain.

He still needs to be able to divert it back to the yard once it’s full. We’ll be able to store about 4400 gallons once it’s to capacity. He already has a faucet on it. We live on a steep hill, so we will be able to use gravity to water our garden this summer during the drought months.
