I covered the tomatoes in the 2 coldframes with old blankets so they are not touching the glass since the forecast is for 35F tonight and 33F tomorrow night. Put 5 gallon buckets over the tomatoes I've planted thus far and covered the strawberries which are in full bloom with lots of berries the size of my little finger. Also covered my English peas that are in bloom with 2" peas on them. Covered my new blueberries and one lonely amaryllis that is already blooming and my dozen Aloe Vera plants. Everything has leafed out or is leafing out which is very odd. Normally the crepe myrtles, lantana and cannas are later in coming out; strange year thus far. Peggy

We have two lines of storms currently--one in northern Ok and one in southern OK. Please keep your eyes on the weather.

I was just looking at some weather sites and strong storms with large hail and high winds are a possibility in almost every county in NYS. I just read the list of counties; Severe Thunderstorm Watch 550 remains in effect until 700 PM EDT NY . New York counties included are Albany Allegany Broome Cattaraugus Cayuga Chautauqua Chemung Chenango Clinton Columbia Cortland Delaware Dutchess Erie Essex Franklin Fulton Genesee Greene Hamilton Herkimer Lewis Livingston Madison Monroe Montgomery Oneida Onondaga Ontario Oswego Otsego Rensselaer St. Lawrence Saratoga Schenectady Schoharie Schuyler Seneca Steuben Sullivan Tioga Tompkins Ulster Warren Washington Wayne Wyoming Yates And I'm in Washington Co and just saw a cluster of storms headed my way. We had the same kind of warnings last week with a tornado alert thrown in twice. And one bad storm did hit but it only hailed for maybe 2 min, thank heavens. Carolyn

Glad to hear you're okay Dirtgirl! We just had rain. I can't believe how poor Tennessee has faired through all this. I can't imagine losing everything all at once. I'm going to cover up my stocktank with a tarp tonight. I have a water lily in that. Fortunately, my lotus are still underground. I'll bring them up tomorrow. Looks like it's going to be a beautful day. Hope it's good in your direction too! I've noticed that perennials seem to weather a few frosts much better than annuals. I guess it's because they've gotten used to it. I hope all the daffodils do okay.
