Every conceivable kind of structure, material, wrapping method and anchor weight was used Wednesday in preparation for the Deep Freeze we were expecting. (And it did come!) The wind made it extremely difficult to do anything because by 2:00 pm it was blowing at 15 mph and by 5:00 pm it was going 20 mph. Brrrrr... Even with two people working together it was hard to get anything fastened down.
There were definitely many funny video worthy moments during these adventures!
Special thanks needs to go out to Denise and her husband Rick. They went back to the garden in the deep dark, bitter cold and wind (at 9:00 pm) to make sure everyone was still securely fastened down and hadn't suffered a cover blow out. That would have been fun TV to watch as well!
Tonight (Weds) we have another Deep Freeze and then just a small freeze for Friday morning. Saturday we'll be able to tell if the lettuce and peas survived or not. Boo hoo if they didn't since my peas had just started bearing.
