Frost damage report

Here is an update on what happened after last weeks snowstorm.  Happy to report that everything looks fairly healthy. 

The onion's tops look a little wilted and yellow, but everything that was under the snow looks healthy.  Onions grow new leaves from their base, so I imagine that they will just grow some new leaves to compensate for the damaged leaves and everything will be just fine.


The peas didn't even flinch and are still growing like nothing happened. 


Same with the garlic.
 

The lettuce seemed to fare well also, though the edges of the leaves look a little rough.  The spinach doesn't look as promising, but it grows fast enough that I will just have to plant more replacements.



The peach tree's newly budded leaves are a little burnt along the edges, but the flower buds that grow more on the inner branches seem to be ok.  We just might get a peach or two this year as long as the nights don't keep dipping below freezing.

We are supposed to get another cold spell here in a few more days, but after this first round of frosty spring weather I am more confident that the garden will be just fine.
