Sorry for you fellers that had seedlings out in this weather. We got a little snow on the ground, but all my seedlings are still safe in the seedlingararium. There have been a few additions and today we're going to start some banana peppers and add another couple of cubanelles (Mrs Chad makes some awesome rellenos!). We've also started a couple of zucchini plants. Mrs Chad uses it in fried rice so that'll be nice.

I'm proud of all my kids, but my son (a very industrious 10 yr old) is planning a garden at his mom's house. This weekend we got a box of peat pots and the seeds that he didn't already have stashed back. He's going to do cayenne, sweet banana pepper, jelly bean tomato, strawberry (we'll have to buy the seedlings), and he's considering cubanelle and serrano. He's also gonna make his mom a few flower beds with Mrs Chad's flower seed stash. He's a chip off the old block for sure!

Lucky for him he got his looks from his mom!

Well, in hopes of keeping the tomatoes alive, I've covered them with old plastic flower pots then with about a foot worth of hay.

Also, I planted some jasmine last week and I've covered it with a wire cage and I've wrapped towels around it. Inside it's little house I've put in a plastic bottle filled with hot water. I'll change it out tonight. I figure that'll keep it alive. I hope

i had a 30 X 90 for six years near abilene and we had to fight wind in the garden all the time, we buried the tall plants very deep at planting, i was always amazed at the corn stalks- after some windy days they'd be listing badly
