Frost Warning

Well, there is a frost warning tonight... so I just finished covering all the plants with sheets. I feel like Farmer Brown - I've been filling planters with soil and planting veggies for quite a bit. Super bean is doing great as are the lettuces and radishes. Tomatoes are looking good. Everyone says you can't plant here until June - but this is the second freeze we have been warned about and so I think we will be OK.
Today we did some outside work. All the plants are planted except for the coleus which is too little to move from the seed bed. So I spent time cleaning up the patio and getting things in order. Then B suggested using the power washer to clean off the potting bench - great idea and once I got going, I moved on to several other items. So I was soaked and cold but had really made headway. Tuesday - when we are to go up into the 80's is scheduled for power washing the outside chairs. That will do it... and we are cleaned up for outside. So lets hope the frost doesn't happen and the veggies and flowers (which I didn't cover) do fine.
And Happy Mother's Day to you all!!
