My post was wiped out after I had it all typed up. I hit the "post" at the top instead of "post to gqsbrosen" at the bottom. It erased everything, and I could not back up.
We have been going through a cycle where its sunny and windy, then rainy, then a cold front comes in and we have a freeze scare. In addition to our sensitive plants, we also worry about our above ground pump freezing. Repairing it cost a lot, plus we could get a hefty fine by the county for water restriction violations if the pump is spraying water like it did last time it was damaged by a freeze.
In the last week, we planted another row of potatoes, another row of peppers, 2 rows of corn, and an onion set. We also bought a lot of plants in several shopping trips, plums (8), peach (1), temple orange (1), blueberries (30), raspberries (4), grapes (3), and pineapples (11).
Bob and Rene Harris visited us on Tuesday. Rene left Wednesday morning, then we took him down to the Ben/Ross dance. We didn't stay overnight, because of freezing weather expected.
This morning, we were expecting to pick up Ett and Linda at TPA to go down to the Sue dance, but their flight was canceled. They will come later in the week. We are expecting a freeze again tonight, but we are going to stay in Fort Myers, anyway, and hope for the best
