RE: New England Growers
Thanks George!
(I haven't forgotten Tewksbury! I grew up in Lowell!) We had a 1/2 inch of
rain in about 20 minutes of heavy downpour on Thursday! I put about half my
plants out today an have buckets to put over them in the event of inclement
weather coming. I also bought some 6 mil plastic and may try to manufacture
some sort fo frames for them. The rest of the plants are safe & sound in the
greenhouse!
Good weather today!
Enjoy.
Kristina

Hi all!
Due to the large amounts of rain we've been having as well as the
thunderstorms that cruised through last week - I have not set out my
seedlings yet - I planned to last weekend and have been sidelined with
respiratory infection. But I am growing concerned because the seedlings are
at the "true two" stage and I don't want them to start running before they
hit the lovely plot prepared for them.
Have you already set out you plants - and is anyone seeing adverse
reactions
in their plants due to the cold temps, wet and windy conditions? I can cold
frame them if they go out - and I think they'll have to this weekend
providing I quit the cough.. hack...spew thing. I was curious about how the
rest of you are faring. I'm in Brentwood, NH - 14 miles from the coast.
E-mail privately if you wish. Hope everyone is having a good start to their
season!

I will take plant measurements today and do an update tonight.
