light frost
Went out at daylight and found frost on the grass but not on the raised
bed gardens. Looks like we might get a freeze before to long but I hope not. The born again pears (first crop came on in early January and then were hit twice with a hard freeze. Then they came back blooming and putting on fruit and that fruit is turning a russet color toward ripeness and are being hunted by another freeze. Naturally the fruit are about the size of a golf ball so there's not going to be much fruit to eat or preserve. Maybe next season, aka January 2018, we won't have a double down freeze again. Not only all that above but the tree is blooming again, I'm afraid there's going to be another hard freeze before spring. I'm thinking of throwing a tarp over the tree just to save the blooms for next year. Have some old two by fours about sixteen feet long that might just hold up a tarp and might even confuse the folks driving by. G George |

If it's too frosted up I'll scrape the side windows , but prefer to let it melt the windshield . Back glass and the mirrors have 'lectricky heat so I don't mess with those . Â* -- Â* Snag |

Â* -- Â* Snag We've been just shy of freezing temps at night. Our neighbor had some plants in her garden die over night, but my begonias must love the cold temps because they didn't seem to mind the low temps at all. I took cuttings off the angel wing begonias to root them. It's cool how they just keep on going. Our hot peppers are growing like the begonias, too. We have a bumper crop of ghost, habaneros, and chili's! -- Maggie |
