Hot, then cold, then windy then SNOW āļø Then FROST… WHAT? Yes, you heard me right! Gardeners prepare! Your about to get FROSTED on 4/20!
Things we can do ā
- Bring in potted plants
- Cover tender plants with sheets and/or plastic!
- Cover veggies š š¶ š½
- IF you have an irrigation system, time it to come on before sunrise and run till after. The thermal properties of water are amazing.
- We canāt change the weather, but we can be prepared!
We have to move all tender plants back in the cold frames and cover all sorts of things… I even cover my Japanese Maples! Lots to do, but itās worth the effort! This has been an eventful weather year, but fret not! We will get past this & see smooth sailing soon š
It always pays to be ready when you live in West Tennessee! Crazy weather… But hey, itās Springtime in Tennessee! So we got that goin for us!
Have a great day & be ready! You have been warnedā¦

Emerging flowers whisperer Spring is Coming š¼
“January is the quietest month in the garden…Ā But just because it looks quiet doesn’t mean that nothing is happening. The soil, open to the sky, absorbs the pure rainfall while microorganisms convert tilled-under fodder into usable nutrients for the next crop of plants. The feasting earthworms tunnel along, aerating the soil and preparing it to welcome the seeds and bare roots to come.”
~ Rosalie Muller Wright
Have a wonderful Sunday! Spring is Coming!
PS; Go Packers!

Yesterday was a beautiful day! The temps hit 70 degrees and I was just waiting to see a mosquito š Such a contrast to just a few days ago with that early snow āļøĀ covering the ground!
Pre-Thanksgiving snow is a rare thing around here. But a few days later here it is sunny āļø & 70 deg!
Maybe we are having our āIndian Summerā…Ā That warming in Fall after frost and freeze have already occurred… In any case, Iāll take it!
Thanksgiving is in a few days and it feels like shorts & sandles outside! 70 deg. = Indian Summer š
Now, itās on to Thanksgiving & the holiday season… Ready or not, itās that time š Time to count our blessings!
āGive me the end of the year anā itās fun, Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā When most of the planninā anā toilinā Is done;Ā Bring all the wanderers home to the nest, Ā Ā Let me sit down with the ones I love best,Ā Hear the old voices still ringinā with song, Ā Ā See the old faces unblemished by wrong, Ā Ā See the old table with all of its chairs Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Anā Iāll put soul in my Thanksgivinā Prayers.ā
Have a GREAT Sunday!
And a Happy Thanksgiving! š¦šš½
