Went out and placed the tall metal spikes between the wood planks on the deck among the containers to keep the quilts from mashing them. All I have to do now is place the quits on top of those metal spikes - they are designed to hold up a plant so they have a curly que thing on the top and that gives the quilts a place to rest.

These are for holding up plants, not holding up quilts but when I saw them I knew they would do that job too, and bought a bunch of them and they were cheap at Walmart.

When any plant gets tall, put the curly que thing around the stalk and stick it in the soil and that will hold the plant. By then, I won't need them for holding up quilts. I also have very strong metal rods to also use for plants and Styrofoam soft twist ties to hold the plant to the rod.

Now, tomorrow when it is raining in the afternoon, one or more of you come here and get in the rain with me to put the quilts over those spikes. Volunteer here: _________________, _________________. I'll put regular row cover thick on the plants in the net room.

April 14 tomorrow night and in the 30s? Beam me up, Scotty.

Don't look for me, unless you've developed an instantaneous quantum transport device. I've got stuff to do here. ;)

Over the next few days, 36F is supposed to be the coldest it will get, and everything in the big garden should survive that. I may rake a few leaves around the tomatoes and peppers to give them a little insulation.

I just made a lemon pound cake. It seems like I made a cake just last week. They keep disappearing, though.
