“Thank goodness the weather is better. That was a rough week.”
Hoping the worst is behind us - but April Snow isn’t unexpected!
Remember how we went straight to the 90’s last summer in April? All of my Spring Bulbs croaked in the heat and Holland MI cancelled their Tulip Festival, as did so many of our local public gardens. I’m surprised so many came back, though I made a point to ler their leaves die back naturaly, so fingers crossed! I also added a bunches more last Fall, just to be safe. :)
Mother Nature? Get back on your meds! ;)
Gosh, I forgot how hot it was last spring. But now that you mentioned it, I do recall the horrible temps in the greenhouses. We are planting like crazy, been transplanting perennials the last few days. Potted up 4 1/2” geraniums for 2 weeks before that. Everyone in my family survived the bad weather with no wind damage. Was a tense week for all. 😬

and stayed hot. Seems like I nursed my poor tomato plants for months while the fruit wouldn’t ripen due to the near 100 degree heat. I was just trying to keep them alive and it’s a good thing I had mulch. My buddy up the road was watering his bare soil garden every day, sometimes twice a day. I was watering twice a week, moving the trickling hose from plant to plant. Took a good hour to do it.
