Yesterday I moved the garlic plants back to greenhouse. Even these should be frost hardy, I do not want to risk the leaves been frostbitten. Forecast for the next 7 days has freezing temperatures every night and the days are not much warmer than that.

Just last night we were wondering how warm it is now in Wisconsin. I loved there how quickly the spring came and all the snow vanished suddenly, without the long cool and wet period like it is here.

Dutch, where in Waukesha county are you gardening? We lived over three years in a duplex in Waukesha and when we moved second time to USA after a year in Finland, we bought a house in Genesee, where we lived over ten years. We spent years planting fruit trees and amending the soil of the vegetable garden in Genesee. It was hard to leave such beautiful place and the nice village, where everyone welcomed us warmly and made us feel home. I feel like I am now missing Wisconsin more than I was missing my home country, when we lived abroad.
