Snow on Second Day of Spring

Just when I start day dreaming about having a lush veggie garden soon, the weather took a turn this morning.

We wake up to a blanket of snow everywhere, and temperature now is about 34 degree F, with a wind chill factor in the 20s degree F. Last night I covered cucumber and some of the pole bean seedlings with plastic bottles to protect them from the cold, Allah SWT willing I hope they survive the freezing temperature.

Cucumber, asparagus and bush beans covered with snow.

Onions, marigold and pole beans covered with snow.

Husband poured hot water in the water container and put a heat lamp for the quail.

Husband found an egg in the chicken coop this morning when he poured hot water in the water container. The ladies will not be happy about the muddy slush on the ground.

Allah SWT willing today will be the last frost date of the season. I already have plans for start working on the veggie garden tomorrow when temperature will be between 40s and 60s degree F. I'm sure the ladies will be looking forward to scratching in the compost pile tomorrow.
