Karen

Same shi**y weather here!..34 and snowing right now..I am so sick of winter!

Kylie

Don't feel too bad! I went out just a few minutes ago & used my 7 gallon pots to cover up my outside brugs! Brought all the others in for the next three nights - as it's suppose to hit 32 & 33 degrees at night, with a possiblity of 'light' frost. And trust me - I don't believe our weatherman MOST of the time! lol! So - I can feel with you on this one!

Mike

I hate this!! Sorry you guys are in the same boat.. I have no choice but to dig the Banana's ..one it 10' no way to protect it.. SOOO.. If I can get mini GH's around the Brugs they will stay out otherwise they are coming out and in the the bucket of seaweed.. They will be fine... LOL
This is what happens when the sun shines and you get comfortable with it...Another Day in Paradise!!!
Kylie

How about being deluged with 2' of snow in two days and wind gusts 30-40 MPH on April 10-11? To top it off, the weekend before that, we received the first 2' of snow. The flip side is we're forecast for 40+ this week and rain. I hope that doesn't result in flooding for some areas. Mother Nature is full of surprises.

We almost hit 80 degrees today and lots of work was done. We all are sun burnt and lots of pine pollen all over! Yellow snow!

Pine Pollen is a Funny thing! I lived in Ga for 8 yrs. It was an everyday thing to have to dust the pollen off the porch the car and all of the standing water was yellow.. So Happy to hear you are having Great Weather...I always look forward to pics of Shorty!!! and of course all of your other beauties.. How is the new fence coming???

This weekend in the 90s!!! The poor Brugs didn't even get a chance to slowly adjust. I'm still working the water garden ... elbow deep in manure water ... in this heat it's cooking!!!! UGH! PHEW!! ;0( Gloria

LOL... Thanks Miss G..Ya killin me!!!!
Ya know what manure smells like around here?????
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$...LOL
Kylie

We've finally had some nice weather but it's not going to last. It's been in the mid 70's for the past couple days. Tomorrow's high is supposed to be in the mid 50's. The temp fluctuates so much during the spring and fall here. I know to expect it but have never been able to get used to it.
Karyn

OMG, last time I looked the low was supposed to be in 40 Sunday night now the weather channel says 31 for my zip code. What the heck am I supposed to do with all my stuff I just put in the ground?

This weather is really terrible. I had to bring all my plants back in :( next time they go out it will be to stay!!!

Mary

Yea, I feel for us. I'm in the same boat! They's (brugs) all coming back in today- they are not going to like my dark garage for three days.

Wow, Kylie, sorry about that 10' banana. Mine are all in pots, so in they come. All my brugs have been so happy in the sun. I have been giving bloom booster to the ones with buds and I'm gonna have blossoms soon, I all happy!!! :-)

Well, this should be the last biggun, til Fall. We call this blackberry winter, and it seems to happen every dang year! Yep, Karyn, you would think we would learn!!!

Welp once the wind lays down and the sun starts to go down I can get them closed up and I will be done...LOL Everything else is in entry or in the garage..

Hey Kylie, If you don't mind me asking. What is that green drum near your garage door?
Rigo

Kylie

Very clever! Tomato cages with plastic over them- mini greenhouse!
Now that everything is inside, they are saying we are not going to have a freeze but the wind chill will be below freezing, no way I'll leave my babies out in that!

Ok, now it's dark and I'm going to have to stumble around in the dark and find some STUFF to protect all those baby brugs I planted in the last two weeks. This is one unhappy old grouchy lady. I was ready to crawl into bed. After church I pulled weeds all day. Then back to evening service and home to this garbage. Oh me, I never trust the weather man cause they always get it WRONG here.

Putting on coat, toboggan, and garden gloves and getting flashlight to go protect my brugs and tomato plants...(Arggghhhhh)

I'm not HAPPY!!!!
Marian

Kylie

Glad you got everything covered! :) Looks great! I've already done mine - so, I get to loaf! They get to be uncovered Tuesday. And the little brug boys & girls go back out Tuesday also.

Marian

Be careful out there & make sure you have Duracell batteries in that flashlight! :) We don't need you having any type of accident! And stay bundled up - as you don't need to catch a cold!

Mike

Well after going and buying a 50 foot tarp the new bed is taken care of. Move the patio furniture and pulled all the big heavy stuff under the porch. Covered the side beds with landscape fabric. Used empty pots to cover small plants in the ground. Pulled all the potted rose bushes up against the house and brought in 6 wagon loads of stuff to the garage and my dining room is full again. I hope the landscape fabric stays put. That is the only thing I am really worried about. All my small stuff in pots I put under the front porch and parked the suburban across the front to block it off. I am glad I'm not the only crazy person outside with a flashlight. Hubby made me go fishing in exchange for helping me take care of all the plants after we got home tonight and wouldn't you know it we probably caught at least 150 fish. You couldn't even drop your bait barely in the water before a fish hit it and it was super windy so I am half dead after doing that all day then doing the plants but it was too windy to cover them earlier anyway. Its supposed to get between 32 and 36 degrees. I hope everyones stuff is ok. Kylie your stuff looks great. Mine looks like sanford and sons moved in, lol. I had several neighbors outside with flashlight and cussing so I get it surprised a few people to have a frost advisory tonight, lol. Jeeze I dread moving all that stuff again!

Those tomato cages covered in plastic are great. What kind of plastic is that? It looks like it was made for the cages. Are those bananas in the wheelbarrow in your kitchen? lol
Karyn

Wow! Makes me glad I didn't plant anything in the ground yet!
I just put my 30 brugs, still in drinking cups, in a couple of low boxes and carried them back inside. I found one advantage to being a newbie!LOL

Kylie, your little GH's are great! Will keep that idea in mind for next year!

Theresa

LOL ..Yes Karyn I dig up 9 just glad I had not gotten all of the rest planted... The plastic is 6mil I had to cut them to size and wrap them. but I already had the cages from the veggie garden..I just got them all off and everyon is just fine... It is only suppose to get down in the 40's tonight but I thnik I will wait till tomorrow to put them away... just in case..
Rigo that is a drum that had some type of concrete product in it. We keep rain barrels and we have a burn barrel so DH will bring them home on occasion.
So how did everyone else do???
Kylie

All my stuff is ok other than a few seedlings from marigolds that I misses in the dark they look a little frost bitten but I had a ton of them so its ok. My huge aloe plant looks like it got some burn too. I had it under the table and didn't realize hubby moved the table and the plant was still in the yard. Everything is uncovered now and they are saying lows in the 40's tonight. They better not be lying. I think I will leave the stuff in the house and garage one more day just to be sure. It will be 70 today so I had to uncover everything else. I was afraid it would get too hot. I was gonna leave the large plumies under the porch one more night but hubby came home and moved them all back. He hates chaos, lol. Oh well if it drops again tonight he will have to do it all over again, lol. Hope everyone elses stuff made it through ok.

geeze you should see my living room, you can't hardly walk I have a 5 foot abutilion, a huge begonia, my bananna tree and a few other things. Just one more night and I think we will be home free!!! yeah!!! I went to a plant swap Saturday so I have quite a few things in the garage that need planting so I need to get busy!!

Mary

Hey Kylie - The reason I was asking is I work for the company that makes that concrete cure. As soon as I saw your pics last night that was the first thing I noticed (drum). ;0) Rigo

Lol, hubby just thought he had it bad. When I showed him the pic of the banana in the wheel barrow he said don't even think about it, lol. I want one of the bananas with the purple edges. Blood banana or something like that. I will plant it and not tell him, lol. He is afraid they will spread everywhere. Anyone grow the miniature bananas? Are they easy to keep contained?

Rigo..that is to Funny!! When I saw the envy (for postage) you sent I googled the Co name to see what it was...LOL
My DH is in Const..

Yea I was thinking the same thing last night when I saw that green drum in you pic.How funny to see the drum here on the GW.
Rigo

Kristy...Everything is just now coming out of dormancy.. I sent a bunch out last Fall.. So I am not sure what all I have.. Ensete ventricosum 'Maurelii' is a red`green Banana that doesn't produce pups it is propagated by seed so no worries about it spreading... There are alot of small Banana's that can be container grown I guess my Fav is Dwarf Ladyfinger...or Little Prince...Right behind Brugs is Banana's...LOL
Kylie

Thanks Kylie. I will look for the Maurelii or one of the others than can be grown in a pot. I think its the pups he is afraid of, lol. He spent a lot of time growing up in Hawaii digging banana out of places they didn't belong, lol.
