| Hello All:
It goes without saying that the weather is unpredictable and nothing is 100% certain.
I myself am leaning towards taking a chance and planting some of my perennials this weekend. I figure I can throw a blanket over them if there is a risk of frost. I have ordered a 'Whack' of plants that have started arriving in the mail and I am out of room to pot up plants. What are your thoughts? |

| Two weeks ago I did my cold seeds - arugula, spinach, carrots, beets, lettuce (leaf and romaine). I put out my tomatoes which were so cheap which I plan to cover. I am playing with fire here (or frost). I think I will cover my tomatoes tonight. I didn't plant my green peppers yet. BTW, Superstore in Ottawa has six veg plants for $1.00. I got cabbage (purple and savoy), brussel sprouts, gr. peppers, tomatoes(4) for under $10. I plan on starting my pumpkins, cucumbers, squash in two weeks. I know I will cave and do it next weekend though. |

| So. . .I held off only because I was so busy. On Friday we had hail in my area. HAIL! Large, peanut sized hail. Thank goodness my tender maters were not out yet. Whew! I had some perennials outside, still in their pots and one of my large Columbine's got broken, but that was the only damage. Sneaky, sneaky mother nature. |
