Sorry you have cold feet. I was so tired last night after a day at the Dentist, I let the freezing temps kill off my impatiens, pentas, and tycon tomatoes. I just couldn’t force myself to go outside, and cover things. Tonight will be colder.

Plants in the Texas Preppers greenhouse are fine. The tomatoes I pulled up and hung upside down are ripening in there, and the live plants that are growing in there have tomatoes that are ripe & ready.

Well, I sure wasn’t about to venter out either, as it was sleeting, but hubby let the beautiful 60 degree day pass without covering his strawberries.

So I asked him, if he was going to cover them this winter or not. He said he was planning to do it. Well the sleet was just barley started, and he said he was going to the feed store for straw.

My contribution was to go out and show him the 3 bales we had stored that he had forgotten about. So he kindly offered to finish up my beds, else I would have quit and left them to nature.LOL

His head was totally covered with the sleet by the time he finished. Grand daughter got a big kick out of watching him through the window mostly. She would only go out for a few minutes at a time. No school the last 2 days for her.
