This Always Happens

A cloudy snowy Tuesday evening. This always happen when I think winter is definitely over and spring is here to stay. It was so sunny and warm Easter Sunday. The greenhouse went up to almost 30℃. I merrily planted some of my snowpeas. They were very happy to have more dirt to grab onto. It got a little cooler the next day but still sunny. The temperature dipped at night and it went down to -1℃ in the morning. Still not too bad as we still had a sunny day. I turned on the little heater for night time insurance.

Now the snow is really coming down, soft and feathery. The forecast is for a heavy load – till 4 am. It is a pretty sight to watch. Not too much I can do about it. I might as well have some pleasure from it. The snow peas will be ok. They can tolerate cool temperatures down to -2℃. I have brought my little tomato and pepper seedlings back into the house. They do not thrive in cool temperatures.

I’m not thriving in our present climate either. I took a day off from my keyboard yesterday. I was out of words. It was a good reason to take a rest.

  1. Hi Lily, the weather this time of year is also crazy in NY State. I am glad your snow peas will be okay! We don’t know how to dress these past few weeks.

  2. Lily, I love being reminded of snowy weather. I lived in NY State before Arizona, and I visited Denver sometimes. The resilience of your plants is impressive! Today, it was 80 ish F when I went for a brisk evening walk. Very mild. Your reports remind me that I need to review conversion of C to F. 😃 Blessings–
