The torrential rains that arrived on the evening of April 15th (Happy Tax Day!) were followed by a wintry mix that left us with an unfortunate dusting of snow the next morning. I am worried as I just sowed all those seeds and I’m not sure if the closer-to-the-surface seeds, such as lettuce, are hardy enough to survive the snow that now sits atop them.

I am also very worried about our grape vines. Turns out my efforts to bury the graft were not successful in the face of all that rain. So, that joint, if you will, has been exposed to sleet and snow. It will all melt very quickly as the sun hits it all day, but it’s a less than ideal surprise, and I will worry sick over them until something happens. Or not.
