OK, I’m going to go with your recommendation on putting stuff in this weekend!

The forecasts are showing a heating trend for the rest of the week so the odds of another frost are _extremely_ low. Historical records show we are well beyond the 90% probability of last frost has already happened. And every day makes the probability even higher. I’m calling yesterday (Apr 28th) as the last frost of the season. Assuming it’s not too muddy it should be safe to put the plants out this weekend.

Blurg this cold weather!

I got an email stating that my plants will arrive TOMORROW! (4/30). It set me in a tail spin of too soon, too soon, too soon!

I’ve been checking the weather daily and this weekend looks lousy too. The tomatoes should be fine inside, but I would like to get some of the hardier flowers out in the yard.

Oh, the joy and the stress!

Here’s the link to the flickr image of the frost protection tonight…

We’ll see if it works. Temperature is slowly falling with lowest temp forecasted for around 1am.

As for being a freakazoid…hahahah The only thing that stops me from being more weird is the lack of financing

tyler - i can’t seem to see the pictures in this post and i was particularly interested in how you covered your tomatoes. I just draped plastic over mine i hope they’ll be ok.

so now I have a question. did people in KY think you were a freakazoid with all your magic solar panels and rain barrels? I’m from the south and you don’t see too much of that stuff around there.
