Fingers Crossed For Our Farmers

[PINEY WARDEN]

Let's hope all of our local farms can make it through this freeze with no damage!

I was thinking about that the last few days. I'm surprised it took the news this long to report on it.

Passed a local farm and they had half a dozen bonfires out in the fields where their seedlings were.

Jessica said they need to have old ladies knit sweaters for the plants. Have a knit-a-thon

I always laugh when I hear the news say bring inside all plants you are trying to protect! Do you think my house is big enough for 40 acres of blueberry plants?

We had 14 degrees on the thermometer at Daylight. Ugh This weather has changed dramatically since I have been a kid!

They had that on the news last night. Peach blossoms affected as well. More cold this weekend.

I was looking at the plants around my house and quite a few of them are turning black. The leaves closest to the ground are still green but all of the leaves more than a foot off the ground on specific plants are dying. My onions all look good but they tend to do well with this type of weather.
