Frankenstorm

Thank God he did his business elsewhere. All he brought to Charlotte was some cold weather. It didn’t even freeze. We weren’t taking any chances though. The new fig tree starts slept on a heat pad last night as did a pepper plant left over from spring. Practically all of the pepper plants have leaves now. They will get transplanted into individual pots this weekend.

The garden delivered a lot of lettuce and arugula for last night’s salad. Home canned tomatoes taste almost as good as the fresh ones and the juice from the jar went into bean soup. The spinach came up but it is really spotty and not big enough to pick yet.

3 more trees arrived from Willis Orchards on Friday. They were soaked all day Saturday and planted Sunday. They are much nicer than the ones from Stark Bros. There was nothing wrong with the ones from Stark Bros. These are taller and have more roots and some branches. Two of them even had remnants of leaves. They still look like sticks, but I see them with leaves, blossoms and cherries. Some imagination huh?
