tipsy gardener fears the frost!

OK, I guess that IS a bit of a sensational headline. :P I've been at Carraba's drinking tasty, tasty wine. We got home while there was just enough light for me to see the garden. I threw an old sheet (the one I ripped ribbons off of last year to make tomato ties) over the mustards. The sheet also covered the areas where I planted onions and ( Read more... )

oh, and which wine did you have? I think I had J Tourne or something like that. It was quite good :)

We got there around 5:30, I think, and left probably around the same time you did. I guess we just missed each other. :P

I had a quartino of the Santa Christina Sangiovese-Merlot, and then a glass of the Clos de Bois (or something like that) Merlot. We really like that Sangiovese - it actually tastes grapey. The merlot was really good too - it tasted very vanilla-y. Yum!

w00t for protecting tiny planties :) i was worried....as i think music_likemercy told you lol or at least she should have, i think i asked her to. i kind of miss having a garden and i'm living vicariously through your gardening adventures.

She did convey the message. Thank you for sending it! I was totally not paying much attention to the temperature on the weather reports. I check daily to see when it will rain, but the fact that it was going to freeze probably would've slipped right past me without your warning!

I remembered to to pull the sheet off the little dudes this morning. So far, they still look happy and green.

Do you have a patio that you can grow container veggies on? I found a really cool book about container gardening. I think the veggies-in-pots look really cool. :) But we tilled up such a large section of yard this year that there's really no need for me to put veggies in containers. Eh, we'll see. :P

well our deck is pretty small, but i think we could have some things. i'm considering some herbs and what not. my main concern is that the privacy walls on the ends of each of the decks of the townhouses effectively keeps our deck in shade probably 90% of the day.

i'm glad i could do some good :)
