Hardening Off - 2 April 2008

We've got a small cold frame (I think it was originally my parents'?) that Bill is using to harden off some of the first vegetables that have come up.  The thing is, because the frame has metal sides, it can cast shadows if it's not alligned properly with the sun.  So one of us has to go outside periodically to reposition the cold frame and the plants inside so that they will get ALL sun ALL the time.

Bill also told me that the peas have poked through the dirt in their buckets along the driveway.  I took a quick look this morning but it was really windy and chilly and I went back inside without finding any green.

I'll check again later.

Or tomorrow. 

Or whenever the wind dies down.  Like some time in July, probably.
