The worst part of being in a northern climate and wanting to grow a nice productive vegetable garden over the summer has to be hardening off the plants. Everyday these plants we started through out the winter have to be hauled outside and left there for a while so they can start to adjust to real UV and wind. I am at the 4 hour a day point now so this process is almost complete. Now if these colder overnight temperatures would go away I could plant them in their final places. There was still a light frost in my yard this morning....
In the end it is a small price to pay for having fresh, healthy, organic vegetables all summer!
May 7th, snowed all day, killed my geranium. I live an hour outside of Los Angeles.
