Strawberries are back! With the cold weather we had to cover up our strawberries and they weren't ripening very fast, but now that the warm weather is back we are back into them and they are tasting great. We got our first set of tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant planted last week! Thank goodness we didn't have them planted before we got that last cold snap. We did lose one plot of squash & cucumbers that were very small. We tried our best and covered them but they were just too small to take the 27 degree temp I think. We have already pulled and replanted that plot as well, with hopes of no more freezing temps! I can't believe March is almost over already, it flew by for me.
