We actually had a frost warning last night.  After watching the news and just having that ‘gut feeling’, I (and Eric) went out in the dark to cover the newly planted buttercup squash and pumpkins.  Thank goodness!  In the morning, the ground was frosted.

Pinch me, please!  Isn’t it almost June??

All the transplants are covered with hot caps.  I consider these waxy covers a necessity.  Well, if I’d have had ALL my gallon milk jugs, I wouldn’t have had to run to town to purchase more hot caps …but, that’s another story.  Transplants need to be covered, whether with waxy hot caps, milk jugs, or coffee cans.  Besides frost, there is THE WIND.  Covering allows the little plants to get established before being whipped and wilted.  Once our shelter belt is established, I hope the wind will be less of an issue.

Praying for gentle rains and no hail from here to harvest.  Oh, yeah!  Some sun would be nice, too.
