Re: New Garden/new house


I'd forgotten about my Clerodendrum. I lost it, too. My Vitex was a poster child for the local paper. Zapped really hard, though a bit of it came back.

It didn't freeze last night, but we've been having off and on sleet mixed with rain today.

I remember years when we had frost the first week of May, but they normally weren't preceded by the amount of warmth we've had recently.

Last year I lost a 30' Clerodendrum trichotimum, and the Vitex was severly damaged. I don't look forward to more damage Tuesday. My hydrangeas did not bloom last year because of the extensive damage. I am not happy with this weather.

It was 84 here yesterday, supposed to freeze by Monday morning. I hope the weather guys are wrong. We lost so much to the great Easter freeze last year. Having a 6' tall Japanese Maple die was sad. The damage to Hydrangeas looked bad last year. This year it's looking even worse. Most of them have only a tuft of leaves at the base, with 5' of dead twigs.

OMG!   Going down into the 40's the next 3 nights here, but talked to my
friend Carol in E TX and she said they're supposed to get a freeze out there this weekend! Way too late for that nonsense. She was Little Bit's first
mama and calls to check on her periodically.
