Took the solarium down on Sat. What remained of it. Winds picked up so strongly it was unsafe to leave it up. Looks like a temporary structure just isn't going to work at all.
Temps at night have dropped back into the 20's. Luckily, nothing in the garden has sprouted yet, so I don't have to replant. Just have to wait until it's warm enough for things to start coming up. Maybe another two weeks.
So much for an early spring.
Should be warm enough during the day to get more done outside this week. Still more tilling, cutting and so forth to do before planting.
Some good news is that most of my earliest tomato plants have formed true leaves. Many of those have multiple sprouts in single pots. Let them grow a little larger and stronger, then separate them into other pots. At this rate, they should produce fruit by early May, if the weather is warm enough.
One strawberry plant is now revived and another is showing signs of life. Not anywhere near the hopes for a whole crop of them but a good sign. First time they have survived even one season.
Still waiting on results of the water test. Had thought it would have been done by now. Guess I'm just being impatient.
