Rainy/cold weather... How to protect plants?
Comments (2)They're calling for some possible snow accumulations tonight into tomorrow... 1-3" possible. (Really, Mother Nature??) If I cover the plants with old sheets, do I need to worry about the rain? My thought is that a sopping wet sheet under snow isn't going to provide a lot of protection, but I really have no idea. LOL I could definitely use a tarp or some plastic sheeting, but I don't want to suffocate the poor plants, either. In my defense, I've only lived in Missouri about 2.5 years... I grew up in southwest Florida, where this kind of weather isn't a problem at the first of May. ;-)...See MoreCold rainy day with not much to do...first pic
Comments (1)Nice! Unsure on the echies but I think you've got all the others right. The flapjack will outgrow this space quite fast, at least mine did in my succulent dish :O...See MoreWill the real spring please show up!!
Comments (14)Hi Sandyslopes, this morning the weatherman said there would another hard frost warning for tonight so I figured I may as well leave the covers on for another night. I covered most of mine with pots turned upside down except the biggest one which has a tarp over it. I just went out and looked under some of the pots and they all look fine. Hopefully this is the last time I will have to cover them but I wouldn't count on it. I remember a few years ago we had a big snowstorm that broke a lot of tree branches and that was on Memorial Day. I am very grateful that we don't have to worry about tornados here and feel bad for all those that are dealing with that threat right now. Linda...See MoreCold and Rainy
Comments (2)Coll... that dark green one with the lighter edge is Dust Devil. Here's pictures of it from last year. It got hit by the frost this year, so I haven't taken pictures of it yet. Here's what it looks like in late May: By July, the edges lighten up: Gesila...See MoreLars
