    44 degrees with a light rain moving through. Wind calm so far.

    Scratch that, 21 mph gusts now wrecking my coverings. Hold off if you can.

    I like your setup Carvers! You should be able to anchor that down nicely.

    Annnnnd the wind just picked up and blew off a bunch of stuff. FML

    Alright, let's see y'all's frost covering pics. I'm dreading having to take all of this down and then put it up again tomorrow evening but that is 2020 for ya. Hope it works. I did hold off on planting the rest of the root bound seedlings. So probably 30% of my maters are in the garage tonight.

    Well it's not too windy here and the rain has stopped. Guess I'll start trying to cover plants up.

    Trying to cover the garden tomorrow evening during downpours and gusty winds will be fun. GFS showing upper 20s for here Saturday morning. What a mess.

    I've got around 60 plants that are badly root bound in cups. I'm going to have to risk it and get these in the ground this weekend, otherwise they'll be ruined anyway. Plant seeds in February they said. You'll get jump start on the season they said. Never again.

    Man, 2020 is relentless.

    The 12z NAM had me at 35 degrees with calm winds tomorrow morning. Hoping that was a blip and we don't get a surprise frost. NWS isn't sounding the alarm so that's good. @Carvers Gap I'm jealous that you found wheat straw. I'm all out of wood chips and desperately need something to mulch with. I'm going to call around tomorrow and see if I can bird dog a few bales.

    Even here in the central valley, I will not be putting warm season stuff in the ground before May ever again. This has been too much stress and hassle. Lesson learned.

    I'm thankful to have survived the two frost threats so far. Hopefully we done with it for the season.
  13. Stovepipe
    That is terrifying. I can't imagine dealing with that right now.
  14. Stovepipe
    Can you imagine having to deal with damage, injury, or loved ones dying from a tornado while everything else is going on? I'm so sorry for anyone affected.

    The latest RAP is bottoming out at 36 degrees for my area, that's above MRX, I'm encouraged.

    I gambled and put out damn near 70 hemp plants and 40 maters figuring we were over the frost. Tonight is my fresh hell. I've basically buried the hemp in what I could find in packaged wheat straw at Lowes. Maters, peppers, basil, cucumbers, etc covered in a redneck array of tarps, buckets, coffee cans, whatever for the time being. I'm reasonably confident I can survive the night, but the GFS was advertising inches of snow next week lol, so who knows.

    What are y'all's thoughts on frost at this point based on modeling? Asking for a friend.

    Knox County schools closed today for the 3rd day in a row for flooding. I imagine they'll be closed tomorrow as well.

    I feel you brother. This year I'm trying something I've not done before with cool season stuff. In addition to direct sowing, I've started around 400 plugs indoors under LED lights. Got several different lettuces, mustard, chard, broccoli, cabbage, bok choy, etc. that I'm going to put into no-dig beds in 4 or 5 weeks. It'll be interesting to see how they perform compared to direct sowing the seeds. I'm going all in on peas this year too. I always seem to get this stuff started too late, hopefully this year is more productive in the cool season. I also got some heirloom tomatoes going under LED over the holidays. I don't expect the full flavor to be there but I'd like to keep some indoor maters going year round. Always experimenting! Sorry for the off topic.

    I initially was looking at tropical tidbits, looked like an inch or less, but pivotal does indeed show more.
  24. Stovepipe
    I'll take the dusting the GFS is showing here. Need something to sweeten up my turnip greens.
