Nineteen degrees! Geez, that is cold. Any hope I had of the cherry tree flowers surviving to make pie cherries is gone. This is the third really cold night in a row and is the coldest yet! At least it isn't supposed to be windy today.
The house was a bit chilly at 66 degrees. Of course, with the wood stove we have higher standards for warmth than we did when we were running the propane furnace. Hubby got a fire started about 5:30 am and I got up and kept it stoked. Now it is a toasty 75 degrees in here. I love that wood stove.
The good news is that I haven't planted any cold weather crops yet. I felt kind of bad for not having the garden tubing set up and running for the peas and potatoes but now I don't feel badly about that. A late start is just what I needed.
Yesterday morning I got 15 or 20 flat tubes cut to 40 feet for the veggie garden before I had to leave. I want to make sure we don't have to order some more since I have to get an order for bobblers in by April 30th. They are having a 10 % off sale and I need a bunch of them so that is a great sale to take advantage of.
I still need to keep working on the veggie garden area. I have a few more roots to pull out and some grasses that need to come out as well. We also need to spread out the compost and rototill the garden area. The most important goal I have is bringing my little horse home. Preferably next week. We shall see.
