What to do instead of shopping? Plant a garden!

Thank God for free USPS Priority Mail supplies! We had brief snow storm and temps went down to 29 which is pretty strange for us. So I went out prior while it still in the mid 30's and covered every new vegetable plant that was above ground with a Priority Mail box ( I keep them on hand for shipping things) and an old shop towel or sheet and in the morning when the sun came out, everything was just fine. Oh and old Airborne Express bubble wrap envelopes protected my newly planted herbs!

Nice save, you're lucky you weren't traveling. Being a farmer, means the weather forecasts, become more than a passing interest.
