Super Cold Blast Hits
This is the first really cold blast of winter we’ve had here in southern Indiana. The temps tonight will be 3 degrees with wind chills around -30. My husband is out in this along with other truckers and agricultural workers. Not exactly a happy thought.
I’ve made sure that plants are covered a little extra tonight. Roses especially take a beating in this kind of weather. Even though they are already mulched, I’ve put a plastic trash bag over them for the night. I’ll remove the bags in the morning, because if moisture builds up inside the plastic it will damage the roses.
I’m still looking at tomato seeds. I’m online now, looking for seeds for slicing-sized yellow or orange tomatoes. Organic seeds, heirloom, if possible . . . I sure do wish I had time and space to try more tomato varieties.
Plan now for next summer’s garden bounty!
