Spring is definitely in the air but our temps are running 5 to 7 degrees cooler then our 130 year average temp here in Benderville. We have taken on being parents to a 8 week old pup that was up for adoption but she is a very quick learner and I’m hoping she is a good garden companion. Been working on the permanent over mature landscaping which we let get out of hand and I may call in some help with that. The main garden is still growing a nice cover crop as we plan what goes where.

You are braver than I am, to take on a puppy, but I know they are great to have. Cooler weather seems to be an issue in a lot of places this year.

We are going to have cooler weather again in a few days. Our cover crops are doing well too. I think I’ll plant some lettuce and spinach in the bags of mushroom compost we had leftover last year.

If we do get a freeze, I think that we can get through with some row covers and straw.
