Beautiful Weather in North Mississippi

14 years ago

We are having a beautiful day. I think it is about 70 degrees. I had pulled weeds earlier in the week and today I put down some mulch. I am repainting some garden "junk" and getting things ready for spring. It may end up covered in snow, or blow away in a tornado.

We really may have strong storms tomorrow, but it is too pretty to stay inside today. I hope everyone is enjoying the day.

It is not so beautiful here in central Indiana today. It is cloudy and only up to 37 right now. I rode along with Amber and Alyssa for her doctor's appointment and then we went out to eat lunch. Alyssa is to start drinking whole milk and give up baby food except for the cereal. She is a petite little one year old. It has been a good day, but the weather is chilly and cloudy.

MMR It is so great to see you here again!

It's 26 and off and on again snow in ND. I'd think I died and went to heaven if I saw 70 degrees! LOL

Enjoy your day!

>"My question is what is going on here?" Looking at your average temperatures for December and January, link below, what they are doing is call 'dormant seeding'. The grass WILL germinate once the soil temperature is conducive, about 55 degrees, in early spring. Here is a link that might be useful: Season Weather Averages for Athens

Paw paw trees in South Mississippi

You aren't kidding they're difficult! I finished raising a pawpaw sphinx on yaupon holly of all things, Susan. I thought it was a rustic sphinx at first, but when it cocooned while still relatively small, I looked it up and found that it was a pawpaw sphinx. Their other host plants are members of the holly family, and I found another caterpillar on some inkberry holly later on. I bought a few plants at the Keenan Nursery when we first moved here from the Coast, tdr4 - the grounds were beautiful, but they didn't have a big selection at the time. I was just recently thinking about going to that nursery and the Pine Hills Nursery in the country north of the Pass (or the Bay?), which I also haven't been to in years. I bought a lot of native azaleas at Pine Hills when we first moved here - I'd like to see what they've got now. Sherry

North Mississippi Gardeners?

A lady at work (hospital) has a swap every spring. She just had one but I couldn't go. She has beautiful yard/gardens. She just puts a flyer up at work and also mentions it (word of mouth). She asks that everyone bring a salad and a plant to swap. It is pretty neat, the salad idea, becoz it keeps from being a heavy meal, and there are lots of salads to try. She also had door prizes, just little gifts, I won a handmade stepping stone. Another swap I went to had some door prizes too - gardening books. I would even love to get old copies of gardening magazines, I just love to read them but they are so expensive at the checkout. I would love to have a swap. I wonder if that garden area by MSU could be used if it got to be a big event. It looks like an Asian garden right near the Northvillage housing area on 82. Easy to find but very sunny.

overseeding lawn in winter in Mississippi

Laurie, you'll have to mow fairly often IF you get a good stand of rye over your grass. Rather than do that, why not put down a good pre-emergent? This will absolutely stop the cool weather weeds in your lawn. You put it out with a fertilizer spreader. There are alot of different brands. Look for one that says "crabgrass preventer" or that controls things like henbit. They will control way more than that. I use them in my flowerbeds too if I don't care about having volunteer flowers. It's time to be putting it out now, as it stops the seeds from germinating but doesn't kill them once they do. Depending on the size of your lawn a thin topdressing of compost or manure in the spring will work absolute miracles on your grass.

Here in my part of Ohio is the same as Sue/IN. Not so beautiful......cold, damp, overcast.

I still went out to run errands and go see my special needs sister, Annie. She almost always brightens my day.
