When the temperatures drop Mom covers up the sensitive plants:
This plastic tunnel,
which is available for purchase from here, even though it is open ended, will help to keep the plants underneath from being exposed to frost and freezing temperatures. These are the tomato plants, notice to the right the lettuce is not covered. Apparently it can handle the cool weather.
We had 2 nights where the temperatures got down below 40 degrees Fahrenheit so these coverings came off the next day and went back on the next night.
More tomato plants covered up with the now empty mulch buckets.
More cover up. I think the peppers are underneath this.
You haven't seen this little plot before. It is about 4 feet long and 2 and a half feet wide. These are beets coming up.
Ever since then, which was the weekend of June 4th, we have had nice weather. In the next post everything is getting to be a pretty good size.
