I told you earlier that we’re due for some hard freezes starting tonight. UGH. :0(
I dashed out and cut some of the daffodils that are blooming all over the yard right now. The ones left out there probably won’t last through the night. It cheered me up to see them today, so I brought some in to save the idea of spring, and wanted to share them with you.
Hopefully, spring is actually coming – though the weather guy remarked that it is really unusual for us to have such cold weather this late.
It’s a good thing that I took pics of the remaining flowers and shared them with you because we had a cold snap last night and all is gone now. These were the black elephant ear and impatiens.
Not sure yet about the roses. We may have Indian Summer here and may still get some blooms, but the impatiens are definitely gone.
The tomato plants are also gone.
I lucked out, mostly, in the greenhouse. I lost all the tomato sucker plants, but the lettuce and celery plants are still with us. My husband agreed that we could bring whatever was still alive in the greenhouse inside. I set up a card table in the dining area and used the wheelbarrow to bring all the plants in. I cleaned up the greenhouse and it will be quiet out there until I start thinking about starting seeds and plants out there to hopefully get a jump on my spring square foot garden.
