May snow, smothering weeds

 

Six inches of snow, heavy snow, broke branches and crushed plants.  I covered the tomatoes and they emerged fine afterwards.  I'm in a mad dash to finalize the drip system and do some serious newspaper and  mulching.  It's so satisfying!  I got the wood chips for free from a woman up on Balsam and the newspaper is finally being used.
