I planted my onions, cabbages, and lettuce this week! Here is what today's weather looks like. First of all, here is my birdbath as of 9:00 am and snow still falling:
Welcome to the first full day of spring!
And here is my barbecue grill at the same time and same conditions:
I think I'll wait a couple of days to set out my tomatoes.
So much for the sunny south. :=(
Nice photo shop job. ;) Saw this on the news....unbelievable!
Msrobin-You're in the same zone that I am. Hope it's not coming your way! I just went out and measured the snow in my back yard. It's 13 inches and still falling!
Holy Cow! If we get that much snow, I'll be stuck up on this hill for weeks.
I'm checking 3 weather web sites and a semi-local news station in Loiusville and the Weather Channel. So far no predictions of snow in the next week to 10 days. They're calling for up to 2 1/2" of rain in the next 2 days, though.
hay chicochi3 i'm over here in gentry AR 30 min away from you. here was the pic i took about 2 hrs after it started.

Did it ever stop snowing? I'm still getting rain....have been ALL day!
it finally passed me
News out of Louisville says we're on the warm side of it and we won't get any of the snow. Had an inch of rain already and expected to continue raining till early afternoon tomorrow.
lucky lol
you should send those pictures to al gore. LOL
Yes. This global warming is going to kill us all! LOL! This mess finally let up about 2:00 pm. Still had a few flurries overnight. I'm hoping that when it melts my newly planted veggies will have survived! It never got colder here than about 30 degrees, so maybe that heavy layer of snow kept them warm.
Just dug through the snow and found my lettuce and cabbage plants. All doing fine! :=D
Hey all you AR folks. I grew up in AR, LR NLR & Salem. Now retired in Maine and you have all the snow (lol). Mine's all gone. Still some in the mountains. Happy skiing!
hay frank65 you can keep all the snow but once per season if i had anything to do with it lol

Guess what? It's snowing here now but not sticking in this part of the state.
Glad to hear there was still some snow left for you guys in Maine, too!
It's nice and sunny out today. Hope to start seeds this weekend and also plant peas and beets. When I was a kid in LR my dad used to plant his potatoes on the last day of February! Strange the things one remembers.
The old folks that live in the country down that way-Zone 7-always told me to start potatoes on St. Patrick's Day. Always seemed to work well for them. I put out one tomato plant yesterday. I consider that the sacrificial tomato plant-the one that the last freeze is going to get!
My late brother in law in Hot Springs used to have tomatoes by mid or late May. He used to delight in razing me when I had to wait until August to get mine!
