Fortunately I decided to just transplant my tomatoes and peppers into bigger pots last weekend instead of my new garden spaces. Still wanting to work some compost into the new soil hubby bought. It’s supposed to have some compost mixed in but the feel of it led me to think I wanted more organic stuff. I’ve probably got a yard of finished compost ready to work in but haven’t had the time with only 3 weeks to organize a nice wedding shower. The last 2 nights have dived to freezing even here in central Texas so I brought about 2 dozen pots in our sunroom for protection.

I think our peaches look ok. They are past blossom stage and after checking yesterday and today they look good. Pomegranate bush is in full blossom and a little more exposed than the peaches so I’m in “wait and see” mode on those.

My son-in-law up on the Red River was madly wrapping his peach trees when he got home Friday. Their trees are covered in blooms and he called me Friday night to ask if I thought wrapping with every available piece of fabric and plastic would save the fruit. I told him the thing to do is just pray while wrapping because only God can show that answer. I’m adding my prayers to that because I’m the one who gets to can up the extras on the halves.

Today I get to cart all those pots back out after I finish another item of shower prep, meaning if i have the time. Shower is next Saturday so I’m hoping that this time next week I’m working soil again. It is past time I get some food in the ground for our area but perhaps God also threw me this shower work knowing this weekend’s freeze would mess up any spring seedlings out there. I think I’m going to stick with that reasoning to belay my frustration of not having time to garden the past 2 weeks.
