So tonight…
It’s coming!!! Run for your lives!
A Freeze Warning. So, don’t drink milkshakes too quickly. Don’t eat big bites of ice cream. And for the love of all that is holy…
PROTECT YOUR PLANTS! Good god! Wrap them in blankets! Throw your bodies on them! Smother them with your pasty white flesh!
The weather forecasters would have us battoning down the the hatches tonight here in Connecticut where it could get to <GASP> 32 degrees. Or maybe 29 degrees.
So, the truth is that most of the early plants should be able to handle this. I am slightly worried about my potatoes and my new seeds, but seriously… it shouldn’t be a problem.
That doesn’t mean I won’t be stripping the closets bare in search of the warmest, fuzziest things to wrap my poor, poor, delicate plants in. You may even see me chanting at the moon, begging for some silly biodynamic craziness about moon cycles. Whatever it takes. Come on stars! Align! Bring the heat of all of your hydrogen! Or helium… or whatever it is that makes you so hot.
So how did you fair againist the freeze. I have a selfish reason to ask, as I live in the same area and left my new Meyer lemon tree outside last night!
Hmm… you sound suspiciously close to me. I believe I have sniffed the first of your lemon blossoms.
One night of frost (especially since we only hit about 31) will be fine for your lemon tree. No fruit yet. And when it does produce fruit, it will automatically be lemonade. So, you’ve got that going for you.
If it frosts again tonight, just drape a blanky over it.
