Hello Junior Gardeners!

Included today are videos about my pond and what I planted last weekend. I am sad to say, that I think we will have some nights cold enough this weekend to damage our plants! Normally it is safe to plant spring vegetables, but every now and then a cold snap comes in May. Some people refuse to plan anything until after Mother’s Day. So keep track of the overnight weather! If there is a freeze or frost warning, bring in plants in pots that are small enough to bring inside, and anything planted in the garden should be covered with a pot or container larger than the plant or a sheet secured over the plants. Remove the covers later in the morning so the do not overheated with the covers.

If you planted leafy greens, it’s about time to harvest. In fact, I can start cutting the kale and collards anytime. The lettuce needs another week or so with another good cool rain.
