Re: unseasonable cold front

Wow, Daryl, that's quite a rollercoaster. I hope you don't lose too much. I know a few of my things won't make it but for the most part, I'm ok.

Donna,
Here's why our plants are so hard hit. http://www.walterreeves.com/uploads/pdf/freezetemps.pdf Note the long hot spell that encouraged so much growth. 
My garden looks even worse than it did Saturday afternoon. It's sickening.

Well I am really at a loss here of understanding.

We always get hit with a hard frost late in the spring- which is why I
don't set out annuals or anything less than a zone 5 rating before mid
May in something I can't bring in for a night or three. My plants get
hit yearly, but rebound once the weather gets better. What I do lose is
fruit if the flowers get hit too hard, or some spring blossoms, but the
trees and plants survive. Hail seems to be my worse nightmare- the
leaves of the hostas look ratty all summer after being sliced by the
hail.


So ....other than tender plants- why do you think everything won't
rebound? My japanesse maple goes thru this yearly and normally looks
fine by June.....


I am really confused!

Donna
