Snow!

Yes, it's snowing on May 24th! So much for everything I thought I knew about the timeliness of planting a garden! I can already see spots on my peppers and tomatoes...I hurried and covered them as soon as the snow started, so I don't know if they will make it or not. On a happier note, my beets and carrots that I thought were all gassed, most of them made it, so yay! It's time to start praying for the rest of the garden :)

Gas is not the new miracle grow

So when we were putting in our grass, one of the sweet little neighborhood boys (totally innocently I might add) wanted to help, so when he saw this yellow can in the yard he figured it must be water so he "watered" my beets and carrots. Since it was a gas can, I was sure everything was a gonner. I dug up where I could see the gas, but since it was a 5 gallon can, and I couldn't see exactly where it all ended up, I stopped short of excavating the entire garden. Fast forward to today, and what did I find??? Sprouts!!!! Of both the beets and the carrots. Half of the row is gone where I dug up the gas, but the rest are there...I am SOOO happy :)
