Freeze threat to our garden!




April 8th we woke to the beginning of snow. Talon and I ran outside to assess what to do to save our garden. Our large tarp had some compost on it, so we bagged it all up and use the tarp to cover the garden. Then I took him to school, late, and came back home. I could see that the snow was piling up on the tarp so I took a broom and pulled off what snow I could and then found some buckets and put them in the isle to hold up the tarp from off of the plants. It snowed for 5 hours! That evening we found buckets and boxes and covered every plant. It did freeze the next morning and we were able to save our plants!
