I also tucked in the potatoes and onions and brassicas in the big garden with a heavy covering of the grass clippings. If they don't make it I can always replant.

I just went to Wal-mart. When I went in the temperature was 67. When I came out it was 50 F, and a biting wind. I was hoping it wouldn’t get here this early..Not enough drizzle/rain for my rain barrel. I can’t even rmember the last time we had a rain where it was full to the top.

I have a 70% chance of rain today. The rain gauge has three inches of rain in it right now from last week.

My latest forecast says 30 for tonight, but I'll get updates all day today. I hope that moves up so I don't have to cover containers out there because it is a lot now. I'll hold off planting the onions until tomorrow as I won't have low temps past tonight for at least a week more and I don't have the forecast past a week.

The engineer has to come to this area March 16 and he gets the job of placing all the containers in some kind of order out there as I'll have even more containers by then. I hardly have any room to walk out there. I see no point in my dragging containers around before I get them all out there.

He said for me to make a plan about placement and he would move them. Make a plan, sure, easy for him to say. I know the mind set of engineers, and he will scrap my plan if I make one. He is so analytical like engineers are, he'll likely measure the whole area, measure every container, then draw it with every container in a definite spot and tack the result out there for me to refer to if I should move a pot so I can put it back exactly according to the diagram. He has done that twice with other things around here.

Just to freak him out, I think I'll get a piece of paper and draw a square and fill it totally up with little squares in no order at all, and tell him that is my plan.
