Gardening in a 90 day Growing Zone

The cabbage, brocolli, collard greens and cauliflower are in. Looking cold and dormant, they are patiently waiting for warmth. It's supposed to be 20 degrees tonight so they are tucked into a big tarp covering all the raised beds holding off the blackening freeze. The onions and potatoes are also struggling along, although a little more optimistically then the others. The Walla Wallas actually have new green shoots and the Klamath Creams are working on their root systems. My boxes and pots are ready for the basil, tomatoes and peppers that will be half grown in a green house before they see their new homes. Tomorrow I tackle the rhubarb - five 1 gallon starts anxious for some compost and a place in the sun. Here's to pie!!!
