Trying something

Trying something. Placed a sheet of translucent plastic over one row, weighed down with bricks. The weather is mild but the air here dries the soil in no time. Maybe the plastic will help retain moisture and maintain temperature at night. If it doesn't blow away, that is. If it works for this row, I'll move it successively to other rows until they sprout. 

Temps have increased to upper 60's during the day but still in the 30's at night. However, if it keeps up, we should have an early spring. Hope that doesn't mean a scorching summer. I'm enjoying it for now. 

Continuing to harden off the tomatoes and peppers. 

Not feeling all that energetic today. Schedule has been around the clock and back again this week, worse than usual. Toss in a sinus infection and I'm not feeling like running a marathon. But have things to do, so best get to them.
