Forecast for tonight: 29 degrees, possible snow!
Comments (2)I'm in the same boat. I don't get too worried about 29 deg though, especially if there is any kind of wind. The wind helps keep the frost off. I get worried when temps get below 26 or so and we won't be near that....See Morewind chill 20, snow and 32 degrees
Comments (16)Sammy, I feel for you. I used to live in SE Texas and it was always a gamble whether we'd lose out on the spring bloom. I don't know how many times I saw the wisteria come out with 1000s of buds only to see them all freeze off before blooming and have all the spring growth on the roses zapped to the ground. It's not quite as wacky here in Northern California, though this winter for us exactly matches what Lance said. We had an exceptionally cold autumn (our place down to 15°F a few nights in a row), and then winter ended, and we've not had another real frost since mid-December. Possibly that means we'll get another May frost like we did a couple of years ago that ruined the bulk of our cut-flower crop for over a month. Gardening, it's not for the weak-willed! --Ron...See More88 degrees and now snow
Comments (2)We've been having weird weather too. We had a warm weekend after lots of cold, and we're back to snow today. I think your seedlings will be fine. You can cover them with a tarp or something, if you wish. I did that a few times last year. I would guess with temps in the 30's, you should be absolutely fine. The only time I lost a few seedlings was in a late April freeze, with temps in the teens for four or five nights. Yes, you're right, don't worry about unsprouted varieties. I have heard others say they use clothes pins to prop up one side of the lid or top of a container when it's hot to let a little more air in....See MoreWe have blizzard in NYC; school is closed!!!
Comments (2)Forecast is -12 dgrs F tonight, in spite of global warming. I did blow part of the snow yesterday, but my ears nearly froze off. We had 1 ft of snow total. Around Boston there are 2 ft of snow. But in my basement in their growing chamber hostas are growing at 80 F, that are good looking seedlings.
