Due to this year's warm spring, we planted a lot of summer crops very early.  Just as the tender seedlings began to poke through the soil, dogwood winter came along to nip their toes.  Good thing I save old, holey row cover fabric to make emergency blankets for early birds.

Our tomatoes, melons, and cucumbers didn't need any extra love, already snug in their quick hoops.  These hefty tomato seedlings are itching to be transplanted to their new homes (or at least to be weeded.)  First thing next week the lows will be in the 50s and I suspect the last chance of frost will have passed...as long as there's no blackberry winter.
