~SUSTAINABLE LIVING FOR CHALLENGING TIMES

[sumisu]

The beginning of April will be very cool around Boston with some nights going below 32*F.

WOW, LOW TEENS there is not typical; I'm usually jealous of your weather!

I did have snow on Monday, but it melted quickly.



There will be mostly rain and ice storms this week.

Possibly the happiest recipient of this weather are my five hard-neck garlic beds, which enjoy a cooler weather.

From my boyhood days, I can remember my maternal Grandma's big planting days were during Memorial Day weekends [on Long Island] plus a lot of food is grown in Russia, which has an average 100-day growing season.

Yeah, we are impatient, but we will deal with it.

I'm losing time in constructing some raised beds because of bad weather plus a building friend is getting married in a few weeks, so April will be shot for me. Things will get done eventually. But waiting an entire winter for this delay is not fun.

Good luck!

PS: My onions, leeks, and shallots arrive from Dixondale next week.
