So far we only have a frost warning. I have nothing in the gardens that it will hurt, and I can cover my mater plants outside that I am growing. Temps are supposed to be in the upper 30s here.

Try spraying 'em with water as the temp passes freezing, encase them in ice so that the lowest temp they feel is 32 degrees F, might minimize losses. (Florida orange growers use this trick, should work for other tree fruits as well

Upper 30 are forecast for us for the next 2 mornings, and some cooler mornings next week. It's payback time I guess. :roll:

Finally getting normal temperatures here for a week at least. Upper 50s and lower 60s forecast for the week with lows around 40.
Would sure rather see it get back to normal and start warming for the Summer, than keep warming from where we have been. ;)

Dave, a week or so ago one of the local weather guessers said that if comparable warm temps were to occurr this summer, we would be way over 100 degrees. :eek: Don't need that so I too am glad to see a retun to more normal temps.
