Enjoy it! I know when we got an Actual Freeze here, people lost their tropical plants. You could tell who'd been in a freeze zone by the blackened Datura, etc. in their yard. I hope all of your stuff comes through!
The weather folks have been pretty off on their predictions this year. Enjoy it while it lasts! We New Englanders aren't nearly as excited about the sight of snow. It does look beautiful from a distance though. :)
We may get a dusting to an inch once a year. It's odd to go two years in a row with a snow fall like this, and this is our second "ice/snow event" of this winter alone.
The kids had a blast. The girl loved to eat it and the boy built a snowman.
Thomas, I like that we don't get snow so often. It really makes it fun.
I'm a wife, teacher and mom of two who came by gardening accidentally in order to appease a fussy child in a big-box hardware store. He saw yellow pear tomatoes (his favorite color) and we became container gardeners.
As it goes with anything involving children, my interest far outlasted his and now we have a square foot garden in our corner yard.
As long as we can battle the bugs and keep the dog from the soil, we might have some fun.
Harvest:
2009 TOTAL ---- 136 lbs
2010 TOTAL ---- I stink. I gave up weighing.
===============================
The boy has eaten:
Spinach
Lettuce
Blueberry
Teeninesy radish bit. He chewed it, spit it out and then rinsed his mouth with water. It still counts.
Carrots - orange, white and purple
Zucchini
Beans - purple, green and Dragon Tongue
Okra
Cantaloupe
===============================
The girl has eaten:
carrot
Cantaloupe - smelled, licked, sucked on a slice, but ingestion is doubtful.

I wonder what ruler the weatherman was using? It sure is pretty.
ReplyDeleteThat is a lot of snow! We have not even had that much at once this winter. Strange seasons lately... Good thing you go the milk & white bread :-)

ReplyDeleteHey! Your weather people must have attended the same school as my weather people!

ReplyDeleteWe got absolutely ZERO snow this year. Last year lots... this year none. Go figure.

Beautiful pics!! I remember that white stuff.. kinda....
ReplyDeleteYeah... this is the year I've definitively learned my lesson: don't believe the forecasters! ;) Very pretty "dusting" you got there.
ReplyDeleteI had to double check to make sure you live in Georgia. What's all that white stuff doing there? I look forward to watching your garden thaw out.
ReplyDeleteHoly Cow! Lookit all your snow! That just ain't right.
