Spanks45 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 A bit worried about tonight...for some reason the strawberries are in full flower, with 10% having small berries already. Frost would not be good, but a freeze would be pretty sucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapturedNature Posted May 9, 2017 Author Share Posted May 9, 2017 33° here this morning...no frost but not a big deal either. We are approaching my average date of last 32° reading (5/12) but my average date of last temps <38° isn't until 5/28. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Fence posts should be set in the dark of the Moon to resist rotting. Ozark lore says that fence posts should always be set as the tree grew. To set the root end upward makes a short-lived fence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A cold-stunted tomato will flower prematurely and will never do as well as one planted in warm soil. The are only negatives to planting warm season crops early. I'd like to have your son get the gardening basics down before he starts kindergarten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
