Bringing 'em in!!!

17 years ago

well, I've gotten away with it long enough, I guess! We are finally going down below freezing for two nights, after over 1 month of nice weather. LOL, everyone around here is groaning and my poor DIL has actually put her brugs into the ground! Mother Nature does not like to be flaunted!! Oops, there go the peaches! And the hostas! And all the other leafing out/ blooming plants that got fooled.

So, in they come, moving tonight and all day tomorrow. This is going to be interesting and might involve the dining table! And a good portion of the garage!

Yep, Shawn, biting the bullet!

    Most of mine are out and are staying out. I'll toss a tarp over them if below freezing temps are predicted here but they're not coming back in! I normally don't have them out this early but was so sick of having them all over the place. Not only brugs, lots of stuff. I still have quite a bit in the greenhouse that I'm not worried about.

    Brenda, I wish you wonderful weather so you can just take your brugs out and leave them there until winter :-)

    sooo sorry that you have to bring them back in, last year it was nice till the end of April when I had to cover all of mine that were in the ground, this year they aren't going in the ground until after Easter

    North Houston freeze warning! Upper 30's on the island. What happened to spring? From shorts to coats in one weekend.
    Stay warm everyone.

    I got home yesterday and it was 83 I got up this morning and it was 53, lol. Lugging the plants back in. So much had started blooming while I was gone. Even my flowering cherry! I hope the freeze doesn't kill all the stuff in the ground. Poor Brenda. I hope you don't hurt yourself carrying all the plants. Scares me when the weather man actually says 32 for here. They usually say 38 and it goes to 32 so no telling how low it will get if they say freezing. I want spring to stay here already!

    Well Brenda.... Have ya heard what they're saying now?! Possible snow tomorrow night even in the Atlanta metro area. I moved somewhere between 600-700 plants back in this weekend. Brugs and some other stuff hadn't ever gone out thank goodness.

    Yall(texan ) are a lot more dedicated than me. Only one light freeze here all winter. The wind in my nemesis here it is almost as bad as the mites. It has been 20-50 mph since February and still no rain.. We had a weak tornado also. My brugs have gone through leaves weekly.

    Anyone tried the Temple Goddess from CG. It is a super brug like my fuzzy Grimaldies. Bloom all the time and laugh at the wind and mites.

  • 17 years ago

    Well, sounds like more than I was expecting, Michelle! Snow!
    (Hey, there is another plant swap in Lawrenceville on the 24th!! Wanna go?)

    And Jim, I have grown Temple Goddess and still do. I lost my first one and hunted around til I found a replacement. This one I have shared with a few folks. Highly recommended! Sorry bout your wind- seems like we all have our gardening challenges, wherever we are!

    Karyn, 29 here tomorrow and Tuesday night, don't know what that will make it in Maryland! Just brrrrrrrrrrrrr, tho! It was 76 here today! Glorious!!

    Welcome home, Kristy!

    Thanks guys. Gotta figure out how to grow these crinums. What I thought were seed pods are sprouting, lol. I don't know if I should plant them or lay on the top. I'll try to get a pic tomorrow.

    Yep! Always gonna have that last freeze or frost
    right before Easter to screw everything up! I'll
    be lugging things back to the gh and praying for
    the ones in the ground! My yard is in full bloom
    makes ya wanna scream! Lord have mercy. I'll be
    praying for us all! Poor Dorothy was just depressed
    after the weather tonite she's down in her back
    and hip and now this! Hugs to you all! :)
