Just as the little, potted Meyer Lemon Tree began to burst into bud and flower, celebrating the return of spring,
just as the old, dry-twig Mint proved it cannot be killed,
just as the little broccoli starts in the planter began broccoli-ing...
ALONG COMES AN UNEXPECTED, OVERNIGHT FREEZE.
Thank goodness for old sheets, tomato stakes and clothes pins.
In a matter of minutes, the Hay Bale Garden was protected
and this morning's first peek showed healthy, thriving squash plants.
The tiny tops of the tomato plants have more than tripled in size.
The bean plants are recognizable as bean plants.
The single red bell pepper plant is a stand-out specimen.
The lettuce is already ready for picking (hello salad!), and...
the late-planted cabbage is well on its way.
SO FAR, SO GOOD...
weed free, bug free and growing great.
IF YOU'VE GOT A HAY BALE GARDEN STARTED, LET ME KNOW.
