Not a problem where I am since there's still 6 ft. of snow on the ground that hasn't melted yet. The temp. hasn't risen UP to freezing but a couple of times and isn't likely to do so anytime soon except for one day next week they're calling for mid-40's.

Howdy Neighbor!! I just checked on my babies and half were dry and half are dripping wet. Of course I watered and opened up some more ventilation holes. What a beautiful day it is here today, with the exception of the wind.

The snow has all about melted here and the birds are out chirping their lovely songs!! I am in Union City. Where are you located??

30s and 40s here in Columbus. I rarely have to water the wintersown containers, but have to watch the spring sown ones. I put them in dishes and bottom water. It's too early yet.

Our forecast for this week is saying high 40's even into the 50's by Friday. I'll be out slogging through the mud finishing my cleanup that never happened because it got super cold really quickly in the fall. Maybe even in shorts and flip flops? It'll feel like summer after the frigid air we're had since November. Of course, we still have snow on the ground. So maybe snow boots and shorts haha

We got up to 44F. I had to water my Newer containers. But I found the Coke bottle containers needed watering the most. I'm a newbie! For those of you whom are experienced. How do you cut down on frequent watering?

I was thinking in terms of capping off w/plastic. I know moving to a cooler place will work, but what when it gets really HOT!

Use gallon milk jugs. It takes them forever to dry out. I don't think I've ever had to water before April.

Hi back at you Carolyn! I'm in Murfreesboro, just south of Nashville, right smack in the middle of the state.

Ladyrose that is why I use those pans. I have had to water 2 days in a row for the containers not in pans. I have got to figure out something for that lasagna pan, I may try an old cookie sheet.

Granted the larger containers do stay moist longer but yesterday that sun was ready to cook something. I seriously got a sunburn on the back of my neck from yesterday.

Mechele, my nephew was wanting to go to college in Murfeesboro. I have actually been there a few times, I had a friend that lived there that I went to college with. I know I visited that town several years later and that little place had taken off in growth.
