There are a few types of plants that are looking weak due to disrupted development from that freeze. Some don't really show it but, because they started flowering and the flowers froze they won't be fruiting and seed production will be severely reduced.

(Unfortunately) Mine is growing just fine and the weeds are doing even better! A little bit every few days is all it takes. Too bad it doesn't do squat for the drought...

Don't mow for a few more weeks and it'll go to seed. Harvest the seeds and put them in a paper bag for a few days then scatter them the day before it rains. If it's already growing on your land successfully it will continue. Buying grass seed is way too expensive anymore.

Damn. We bailed on our plans for today and it looks like the weather will hold until at least lunchtime. I hate when I do shit like that.

I like using wunderground and looking at stations around my house. NYMesonet is also good.

Got to 26 here. Potted plants froze through but seem to be fine this morning after a little sun. I think the garlic liked the kick in the head, it looks so happy this morning.

It was 37 before the rain stopped, now it's sunny and 43. Looks like I got .2.

Yeah it just hit 65 so I'll have to kick it on soon. Gotta go get some diesel too, the tank is down to about 4" and I really don't want or need 100 gal minimum.

Looks like some frozen precip is working into the west side of the Catskills. I don't want to turn the heat back on...

I slept through whatever happened last night. Garden was wet again and the potatoes and garlic are doing well. Hopefully early next week is the last below freezing and I can get more food plants out. Re: the front lawn; if it's green as they drive by @20 mph I'm good with it. I mow often enough, haven't fertilized or watered it in 30 years but I do "harvest" the seeds from the unmowed backyard and spread them, but that's the extent of the maintenance.

80° is too warm. 50 is too cold. I'm turning into a cranky old fuk

Oof

26 here. I already added 10 gallons of diesel to avoid the higher cost of a 100 or 150 gallon minimum for heating oil. I might actually go do that again today. I'm only using 5-6 gallons a week now.

I'm good with that.
