By this afternoon it had warmed up some. I went out to the garden and began taking down all of the trellises. I cut off the root with my shovel and then set on a chair and cut away the tomato clips.
I removed the Styrofoam which I thought would allow the ground heat to come up and warm the soil. Just the opposite happened. It insulated the ground and kept it frozen. I was able to dig a couple of sweet potatoes that were a little larger than my thumb. I left the the Styrofoam off allow the soil to thaw. I took them in the house and washed off the dirt.
I piled all of the tomato plants on the giant pile of vines. It is about six feet high.
The was a eighteen foot pipe holding the tomato trellis up. I took the pipe down. I needed a step ladder to be able to reach the pipes.
I picked sweet corn about two weeks ago and put them in the fridge in the garage. We ate four ears that are about six inches long. Carol ate one and I had three. They tasted like they had just been picked. even some of the husk were starting to dry.
