Let's hope it's warmer at night


We have been getting cold temperatures at night. Above you can see my attempt to cover the "crops". For the most part, this worked.
However.....


The basil looked great when I planted it but it did get nipped with frost a few days ago.
So, I went out yesterday and again this morning with B to purchase some more.
I got more basil and also some additional herbs and flowers.
The weather has been weird... sun then rain then sun then HEAVY rain.
We were in the garden section of WalMart when the rain came down.. so I didn't get quite all I needed. We went back this morning and again got hit with rain.


The geraniums look good but I'm not so sure they will survive as the planter is on the driveway and the deer or chippies or what ever may nibble. So we shall see... But, it does look nice and when you drive down the hill, you can see this spot of the driveway.
It has really been cold... the leaves are out and we still have pollen in the air. I cleaned windows yesterday and today (not done yet) and the pollen was heavy on the screens. Windows that I did look GREAT!!!
The family will be over on Sunday for our start of the summer get together ... hope it warms up by then.
