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¦

I just LOVE my Waterfalls and my Pond! And I get to enjoy the beauty year round! All 4 seasons bring something special to my life. This bitter cold and snow is rough, in one way, but in another it brings extreme beauty to my door! Itās not safe to be out on the roads right now, but here in my Landscape… Itās all good š
I hope this morning finds you safe and warm! Itās very cold š„¶ out there… But seeing my āWinter Wonderlandā somehow makes it better… More beautiful. More bearable… And I know that this is really the foothills of the coming Spring! And I am ready!
Be careful out there!

The leaves have been coming down like rain the last couple of days. Itās beautiful to watch. Add to that the 4 strait nights of freezing temps … November has made itself known š Thanksgiving is coming!
Many trees are at peak color and the leaves are raining down when the wind blows…

Happy Pondering š¤

What a BEAUTIFUL, Cold Sunday morning! Maybe it feels so cold because it has been in the sunny 70ās for a while now… The old saying rings true – āIf you donāt like the weather, just wait a minuteā… šĀ Thatās the Good news – after Tuesday we are back in the 70ās & maybe even the 80ās! Bad news – FREEZE WARNING TONIGHT! š„¶ I gotta play musical chairs with my potted plants again…
My Grandma planted this flowering Almond many years ago. I had to sit down when I saw it blooming. Brings back memories of her ā¤ļøĀ Stories I can share with my son too. I Love Old āMemory Plantsā!
āSo fair, so cold; like a morning of pale spring still clinging to winters chill.ā
~ J.R.R. Tolkien
Have a great Sunday with the ones you love!
PS: Donāt forget- Freeze Warning tonight!
