We just got our March cold snap today and I had to bring the hanging tomatoes indoors and we covered the ones in the bed. The high tomorrow is 46. Yeah, yesterday it was 80 something...<BR/><BR/>Tammy - Rain? You got rain? We got a brief sprinkling early this morning, then nothing. Nothing! :( Come on rain. Come to my neighborhood too...<BR/><BR/>Glenda - Ooh! Those are some nice looking beds, girl! And I may need to send Dave your way for water barrel training. We've been talking making our own too.

We transplanted some broccoli, kale, cabbage, and onions three weeks ago, some lettuce mix and carrots a couple weeks ago, and then a whole bunch of other stuff last weekend. I was so excited yesterday when I looked at the broccoli and noticed they are so much bigger than they were even a week ago! They're still pretty tiny, but I'll be curious to see how big they end up getting.<BR/><BR/>I posted update pics on my blog yesterday -- http://wrenandstitchy.wordpress.com -- and will continue to do so as long as we have stuff growing out there. <BR/><BR/>The best news is that today we have gotten a fantastic, slow rain. Our last good rain was late last August / early Sept -- the rain barrel was about empty, but now it's overflowing again :).<BR/><BR/>(Oh, we're in west-central Texas, by the way.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8862121314003712764.post-44500799230276326202009-03-11T15:14:00.000-05:002009-03-11T15:14:00.000-05:00How wonderful. I tilled up my beds yesterday and I...How wonderful. I tilled up my beds yesterday and I have been weeding my flower beds, but best of all, we actually got a little rain today, rain, beautiful, wonderful wet stuff from the sky. A lowdown on me-- I have blooms on my oranges(greenhouse), cherries, pears, little mulberries forming...leaves coming on figs, grapes, one raspberry plant. I have onions, garlic, potatoes, rosemary, cilantro, mint, oregano, carrots. In the greenhouse I have small tomatoes, lots of tomato plants, some broccoli sprouting, as well as pak choy and butternut squash--waiting on peppers.<BR/>Farmer's Daughter shouldn't envy us, the season here is divided because mid-season is too hot and dry...at least the snow makes great soil in the springtime for people with even short growing seasons.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8862121314003712764.post-13896485978261324962009-03-11T07:16:00.000-05:002009-03-11T07:16:00.000-05:00Looks great!
