How my garden does not grow


Sheesh! An April snow storm has dumped about 3 inches on my little seeds. Fortunately, nothing has actually emerged from the ground yet, so I'm hoping everything will be OK. I don't have much experience with snow gardening.

It will be sad if my peas, lettuce and spinach don't come up, but I can't help thinking about those New England gardeners from 400 years ago who wouldn't have any food to eat if a late snow killed off a young garden.
On the up side, temperatures should be high this weekend and the snow should melt away as quickly as it came.
