Freezin for a reason

Well we had another frost warning this week. I was more prepared this time.  I was able to cover up everything before it hit.

Is this why they call them veggie  beds?

Last time the hydrangea and tomato got hit, but this time no damage seems to happen.

The cat didn't get frost bitten either :-)

I read in an Extension Office pamphlet, that it is better to use sheets and blankets and covers.  That way, the heat from the ground gets "trapped" in there. If you wrap them around to tight, it doesn't work as well. 

As if you wondered

If anyone wonders why this blog is called Goofy Gardening, show them these pictures.

Crazy chard

 Everyone said I put things out too early but in my opnion if I bought a plant...I needed to put it in the ground. Anyhoo... Tonight, they have a forcast for frost. So I ran out and covered everything in grass clippings and some of the material they but down in the "flower bed" out front. Fortunately, the lawnman came today so I had plenty to put out. 

Do you see the rose bush?

Please note that I did this after work and a trip to the tax agency.  So I was raking grass and placing it without much light at all. As you can see, I overdid it.

Thyme for a change :-)

I felt guilty because I planted to early. I didn't want anything to die because I was too stupid.  Now, they will die because I was too stupid to mulch the correct amount.

Hope you are having a great week and are a little saner than me.
