Freezing. It was 17 this morning when we went for our walk. I put my silk underwear on. That helped a lot.

My suggestion would be that you contact Atlantic county's Cooperative Extension. If they do not have an extension there, then check out Monmouth County's Extension. There are Master Gardeners who volunteer on Garden Helplines in each of the counties. You can find out their hours, and most likely, with all the info you seem to be wanting, you could go in and get the information. The Extensions are through Rutgers Cooperative Extension. The best that I can do is give you the AC info I found on http://njaes.rutgers.edu/mastergardeners/helplines.asp Atlantic 609-625-0056 Monday - Friday 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 noon 609-625-0056 Monday - Friday 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Hope this helps!

Here comes the cold
Q

I'm with Glib....the last thing in the world I wanted to do was create another 200 post debate on global warming! It's also interesting to hear from other countries and less common crops (olives). You also confirmed that no matter where you live or what you grow, the weather can have profound impact on it and there are always challenges with growing things. We ended up getting to 0 degrees here and predicted 8 degrees tonight, so based on the kind, optimistic comments above I may be ok- even though it was an incredibly rapid drop in temperature. Michael357- Sounds like we have a LOT in common! That was an incredible guess based only on a username, but a correct one. "City Man" fits me for 2 reasons. One is for the reason most assume I selected it- a city boy living in the country. All of my adult live was spent living in medium/large cities, until I moved to the country 3 years ago. Everyone says I'm the epitome of Oliver Douglass from Green Acres and expect to see me wearing a suit on my tractor! ha. Strangely, I like the analogy. ha. But the other reason I selected "Cityman" is EXACTLY what you guessed....my job title is, in fact, City Manager. And because it is a fairly small city, just like you, my day to day work is varied more than just supervising department heads and budgets. As you know, in smaller towns duties are most definitely varied and "as assigned". But I love the work! Anyway, I hope the rest of you made it through the cold without any damage. Around here we only have about 6 weeks of potential hard freeze weather left. Of course then I get to worry about late frosts which can be equally damaging to crops. Ahhh....its always something but all of you know that! Does anyone feel the current freeze damaged your trees/orchards/grapes/berries?

Pruning a shrub
Q
Comments (10)
Lol Ken. Thanks for the guide Logan. Regarding the canopy portion, theres so many horizontal branches on a shrub I find it is hard to decide what should stay and what should go. Those branches that are growing inwards don't seem to be a problem until they start rubbing into others. I guess at that point I can prune them off. Its looking pretty good so far, when I get time I can post a photo.

Chris, all of mines are still outside too and I live in Ma. like you! They have all been doing ok, as long as they are getting some full sun. The one that get the most dry out faster than those that do not. So I stick the ones that need the full hot sun to dry out quickly for the very cool nights on my flat roof exposed to sun all day. Chris, is that the first time you set up the lights like that? You only use one per shelf? I have the very same lights and I use two per self. I was wondering if the one is good enough and if you had success? Less I have to use the better on electricity cost) Did you use a timer? I did and thank God for those. When I know it's going to be a cool cloudy day, I just leave them dry. When it rains and it's cool, it doesn't seem to bother them, even the cactus. I remember walking into a greenhouse full of succulents and cacti and the temps in there was below the 50's and they were all watered during the middle of winter. I asked how in the world they did not rot, and they said that they were getting lots of sunlight and air movement. It made me a bit more bolder in leaving my plants out so late into the season now. Kara, beautiful flower! Don't you typically run a very cool weather pattern ? Are you along the coast or inland. I do keep an eye on temps there in San Francisco and I noticed they run 50's and 60's for days on end, cloudy too. Not sure what it's like for you. Mike

It is 16 here this morning but supposed to get cold over the weekend! LOL!! YIKES!

We care for a feral cat and her 4 kittens that were living in our field. I bought them an 'igloo' for the winter and put it on the covered patio. Tonight we are going to get the heated pad and a heated water bowl for them.

It's 38 right now and only supposed to get up to 56. Tomorrow's high will be around 69, which will seem pretty warm. I wanted to do grocery shopping today but think tomorrow would be better.

Ah, Fran, wasn't that a little TMI??? LOL!

London, where I am now, got about a foot of snow on Monday and Tuesday, and it's been a few degrees below freezing.

On Tuesday the landlord's son phoned to ask how my driveway was, and I could see dirt on it. Landlord was at their newly-purchased cottage about 80 mi. n. of Toronto for the weekend and the family told him to stay there, so he returned home last evening (Wed.), had to detour around a 17-car pileup on the freeway about 30 mi. e. of London, came to check on me on his way home: nice guy

While at a neighbour's on Tues., we were thinking that travelling north a few miles near the storm going through London was not a good idea ...

... but when I left, being rather addicted to the internet, I turned north instead of south ...

... and got the 10 miles to the village where I visit the library without incident.

A few hours later, after dark, when I started home, the roads were good, except for a short space beside a farnmer's field where the road isn't higher, but I could get through using part of the far lane ... and there's very little traffic on that road. Also, had it been bad, I'd have gone back and taken another route.

Plus ... I had a shovel in the car. And extra coats, in case of getting storm-stayed.

Got home without incident.

Bright and sunny today.

Oh, yes - and I needed to go to town yesterday, which was a rather quiet day (but London was still digging itself out, and many of the side streets were still impassable: schools and libraries closed, which caused me an extra run of several miles, buses not running). While there, I got some new tires on, as mine were really bald (about as bald as I).

I travelled to the village where I often go to the library ... and it was open. So I got to post on the KT last evening.

Ole joyful ... fairly well clad, with several layers ... and these "layers" are not hens: it's only I that lays the eggs, here

cold, here, ARE you?
