Frost Advisory

[drjeff]

Just dug 2 new garden beds yesterday, compost/soil mixture being picked up from my local dairy farm later this week. Put the INDOOR started seedlings in the new beds probably in 10 days or so. Still sore from the BIG rock that I unearthed in one of the garden sites and subsequently had to beat with a sledge hammer to knock enough off the the top of the rock to get the garden where my wife wanted it Heck, if I hadn't already taken up a bunch of sod all around where the rock was, that garden bed would be in a new location of the back yard!

Should be frost safe by the 20th I recon!

Hopefully it happens..it's supposed to go down into the upper 20s here..freaking plants are bad for my allergies..hopefully some flowers turn black..for real...every year around this time I hope that summer doesn't happen...

My neighbors might think I'm mentally ill, but I have various beach towels, blankets and tarps covering things. :lol: I even have a random kid pail over a few things. I might be nuts, but I'm going to have the sickest hydrangeas in NW CT this summer... :lol: :dunce:

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

are you ready for the big bad frost!!!!...I have my windows open to cool my place down even more because it might get hot this summer...JEA!!!!

 

[RootDKJ]

If Greg see's frost, we'll go back to the blue, right???

I'm hoping but I think frost only plays a role in the background color in the fall..I could be wrong though and if that's the case..Marc will have to sacrifice a goat..

It's kinda funny, the north country does NOT have a frost/freeze warning. That's because the growing season has not started there yet!

Warp, birthday boy, you shouldn't plant until July 4th! For the rest of us, Memorial Day. The other funny thing is that most people don't bother planing things like tomatoes because it takes too long for them to ripen, and the "first frost" happens too soon.

this is SOOOOO LAME:

"
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A FROST ADVISORY IS ISSUED WHEN FROST IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP
DURING THE GROWING SEASON. THOSE WITH AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS ARE
ADVISED TO HARVEST OR PROTECT TENDER VEGETATION. ALSO...POTTED

I want the winter storm warnings back. Life-threatening, school closing, road blocking mutha snowstorms. Now that's exciting!

AWAY FROM THE COLD.

We've had frost down here in Pennsyltucky has late as May 25th...

anyway I never thought of hardcore bumper and m-biker Greg as a gardener..nice to see he hasn't lost his feminine side..

lol, i know you're just being you, but if you cant take pride in your own backyard then what does it say about you? I love my backyard in the spring and early summer. Lawn is still lush, the flowers in full bloom against the backdrop of my lemon yellow garage. the hythenthesis in full bloom. (yeah i messed up the spelling). i can go out in the early morning, barefoot, and run with the feel of the dew against my freshly manicured toes......

ahhhh spring

Lmao----------------- the ONLY thing we plant up here till June is PLASTIC FLOWERS

What the Queen does is plant several nice Huge Wickers baskets of stuff that we put on the porches UNTIL u can safely put stuff in the ground . Guess who gets to take them in the house last several nites ??


Then she goes' nuts with the various flower beds after Mem. Day . She actually each fall pulls up and keeps and regenerates her geraniums each year . Keeps them on tarps in our cellar and damn they thrive and save us $$$$ Shes got the GREEN thumb, ME I'm just GRUNT labor
