Nineteen Degrees

February 16, 2007

Tonight is one of the coldest nights of the winter.

I prepared first by filling my vases with flowers.

I turned my bathtub into a safe haven for the smallest most vulnerable plants from my driveway/nursery.

Then I raided the linen closet and used my spare sheets and quilts to cover plants with flower buds or early leafy growth.

I settled my vegetable garden under a mantle of Reemay.

Now, he only thing left to do is to enjoy a toasty warm evening with my husband and hope for the best.

I am very impressed with how you prepare for the winter. It gets very cold here also. We are in Kentucky and I love gardening. I love taking care of my plants and it sounds like you have a blog that will interest me. I will be keeping up with you.
Good Luck

Thanks for the kind words. As you can tell I love it too. I look forward to you sharing with myself and other gardeners.
