Winter Gardening

 Too Cold to Save the Cucumbers

Cucumbers, tomatoes and all the rest were doing well and in this climate should have survived to give us a nice crop.  Unfortunately, weather patterns have been changing and not necessarily for the better. It's either too hot, too cold, too dry or too wet.  Something is wrong here. Don't you think?
Well, anyway we had a couple of  nights of cold and frost here killing off the cucumbers and tomato plants.  Strawberries, lettuce, cabbage, onions and garlic seem to be okay but the lost cucumbers really hurt.  The ones we had this summer were so very delicious and we were hoping to get more. Those cucumbers brought back memories of days when fresh vegetables abounded and were bursting with taste.  We don't find those veggies anymore. Wish we could remember which seed packet gave us those special cucs. Now we start new plants, this time in the greenhouse.
