It is April...
I do live in the South, Right?
It is freezing here! yep sleet bounces off the windows, High is 45 for the day! and back into the freezing temperatures tonight.
I'm in a panic trying to get HOT mash to my horses... but it has to sit, absorb all the water... THEN I pour more boiling water over it once again just to make sure AND to have it perfectly HOT when I pour it out in this fridgid cold.
I have the blankets in the drier! Not to dry them but to heat them up so I can wrap them in a blanket and put them on the kids nice and warm.
I am also hoping my poor plants are going to survive this freezing weather!
Yesterday as I brushed Navarre each time I cleaned my brushes I put the hair around my plants... they were watered well as of last night and mulched only directly under each plant. I had planned to expand the mulch as the horses loose more hair each day. BUT I will NOT be brushing my horses today thus NOT mulching the plants today.
Oh how this day has started in a panic... Panic for my cold horses and slight worry for my plants as they will be my food. GOOD thing is... if they survive they will be all the sweeter for this cold cold spurt of air.... YES!
Brusselsprouts
cauliflower
broccoli
lettuce heads
kohlrabi
and standard cabbage... all in the ground right now!
