It’s in the 70’s here now, too, and the long range forecast (15 days) from Accuweather shows a very mild spell.

I got my peas and some lettuce in. I started some tomatoes way too early this year and they’re huge now; some are even flowering. I thought that they would go to waste except that now I can take the chance of planting them outside. We have plenty of buckets to cover them with if it gets cold.

If a freeze gets them, I have more back up and I’m no further behind that I would normally be. If it doesn’t I could have tomatoes at least a full month before I normally would have expected.

We’re planning on roto-tilling the garden tomorrow. YIPPEE!!

What a lot of clean up from the winter though!!!!
