Garden plot #3 missed the dread five letter April word. The visit Wednesday afternoon found maybe four out of the dozen plots already under a blanket of thin plastic. A neighbor was there, wrestling her plastic from the breeze. She accepted the offer of duct tape. Three of us observed our fellow plots covered with plastic and weighted with the gravel that makes the garden path to hold the covers in place against the wind.
In Kentucky, spring cold snaps are known as dogwood winter and blackberry winter. No native North Carolinian has heard those terms.
