Models indicate the weather might do something similar (albeit a bit warmer) again next week.

Hope those models are wrong wrong wrong.

We might get FROST tonight. Unheard of for the first week in May. Thankfully I haven’t put any tomatoes or peppers out yet or actually planted any warm season stuff at all. We’ll have to cover our blueberries tonight and bring in all the stuff on the driveway that’s waiting to go in the garden.

I have 3 256 divot trays of rice seedlings now. I’m guessing about 80-90% germination. So far I’ve started the Hmong Sticky and the Carolina Gold. Those have to go out next weekend regardless of the weather.

I just received the packet of rice seeds this week. I will be using Milk Jugs to plant them in, but I have stuff further up the list to start. Problem is, I have run out of room for starts due to not transplanting because of the weather.

It kinda reminds me of Lucy and Ethel and the assembly line back up where the started putting the candy in their mouth, cause there were too many on the belt.
