Back to normal...(cold!)
Posted by laura bellel on April 14, 2018 | 2 Comments
After two days of sunshine and warmth, the cold winds and gray skies have returned. I'm trying to keep the sweet pea youngsters from getting too cold while still giving them light.
I know they don't mind cool temperatures, but surely they don't like freezing. I've been carrying them outdoors in the daytime and back in at night. This morning I made a little tent for the containers with clear plastic to let in the light and keep out the very cold wind.
Happily, the scilla doesn't mind at all. Patience, endurance, gratitude and cheerfulness live in the garden.
