It Ain’t Pretty…
…but it kept the garden warm through this morning’s frost. We had our first frost this morning, even though just a few days ago, temps were in the 80s. To keep the veggie garden warm, I wrapped the plants in sheets—and when I ran out of sheets, I raided my fabric stash for big pieces […]
