Comments (43)Opening up new vistas without paying the pruners. We can clean up later when the time comes.Which brings up a question about ground orchids. In 6 weeks or so when clean-up begins,how much debris gets cleaned up around the ground orchids. Should I wait for the new growth to show up or just clean up around them under the little fronds. So many people want to start cleaning up too early. I've lived here 40 years,we still have many chances for more frost,freeze,sleet. So keeps the rakes and pruners under wraps and enjoy the time. There will be much to do later....See MoreDoes Cold Weather Affect Tomatoes (Not Freezing Cold)
Comments (6)That's a shame. Our winters are off and on, and most nurseries have them already, and only one that I know of keeps them inside a greenhouse that's heated. It was about 45 last night and will be probably below 40 tonight. I have 5 planted, and am covering them at night with pots, and the rest are still in pots or seed trays, and I'm bringing them in at night. I'll see how those that are already planted do this spring. I'm tired of not getting more than a few tomatoes....See MoreHappy New Year, Cold cold weather and kitchen pet peeves..
Comments (21)CAthy, I'm happy as long as the tank heater is keeping up, I HATE chopping ice from the tank. Actually, chopping it isn't the bad part, it's dipping the ice chunks out with a hay fork, I always get wet, and it's cold. Ugh. Hate that..... Wind chill factors of 20 to 30 below zero ought to tell me, I've made a wooden cover for the stock tank with a hole just big enough for the animals to put their heads through, I'm hoping it helps, at least enough to keep the tank unfrozen. We set a bale this afternoon, a big round bale will last 3-4 days, so hopefully it'll last until Wednesday morning, when it breaks a little and will be back up to a high of 17, and no below zero temps. I can do everything else manually, but the tractor doesn't always want to start when it's that cold and I need the tractor to move those big bales. As for school, they will probably not have school Monday or Tuesday, we have so many rural students that ride busses and it's just not safe to have small children out in that weather. When it hits zero they are not allowed to go outside for recess and when it's colder, they eventually give up and close school. Annie...See MoreRelated Professionals
