When I woke up this morning I was happy.....I had gotten quite a bit of work done outside in the past few days and I was looking forward to hitting the garage sales before I went to work again. But then, I sat up in bed and looked outside......and I did not like what I saw....ALL of the row covers were off the beds!
All of that work!!!! All those little tender seedlings, exposed to the wind!!!! I was not a happy camper!!!!!
So instead of going garage saling, I put on my gardening gear and crawled around in the garden for 2 1/2 hours covering things back up and bulking up on weights to hold the row cover down better. FYI, the pots of rocks didn't last 15 minutes....
What worked best was buckets of water, and, we all know they will stay full!!!! The ducks will like mucking around in them too...they'll probably be full of dirt and water by the time I empty them.
The only thing good about today's irritation is that it happened while I was home....too many times it happens while I am gone and the garden-sitter has to do it. The wind is expected to keep blowing for a day or two....how will I get things done?
