Entrenched!

I wanted to work outside at least cleaning up the gardens on Thursday but the high temp of 35 plus some really chill winds made me think I should leave the protections on the beds.  Next week the night time lows will be in the 20s and 30s according to predictions.

Those are no temperatures to start a garden season with.  Luckily there are always things to do inside.

I got pictures while I was outside of the hardware cloth trench he and my son dug on the south soide of the vegetable garden, where Thumper the Rabbit comes in.  Ha ha, six inches deep and the hardware cloth is bent down into the trench to stop digging activities.

He'll do the east side as well, but I need to move a few daylilies out of the way.    I thought I had moved them all last fall, but there they all are.

If you'll recall, in an innocent early February, Punxsutawney Phil predicted an early spring.  Dear Punx, a lack of snow isn't an early spring. 

Since most nurseries are closed, doing limited curb pickup or have very little besides very cold tolerant plants in April, this will all work out somehow.  Still, if next week's lows at night were in the 60s I would like it better.
