Re: cold front is here

Well, I went outside this am and it felt good to me. I think I was having a hot flash though. LOL! The plants are sitting on top of the washer and dryer on the back porch/laundry room. I covered the fern with a big blanket last night and I doubt it needed it. So, back out they go til Saturday when it's supposed to hit 28. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pam Evans" <gardenqueen@gmail.com>

The buds will be fine, the only time I've noticed a freeze affects my
camellia is when it is in full bloom.  Then it freezes the flowers -
terrible!

back to more "seasonable" temps this week of 33 at night and 50 something

the day.
I talked to my Dad last night (Petersburg, IL) It was 8 degrees..... But, 
someone has given him a basically new snowmobile that they deemed
temperamental. He got it running and hasn't had this much fun since he was 
"slinging mud in all directions racing around on a dirt track" He used to
race
Harley-Davidsons before I was born. So, I'm glad the cold and snow are
giving
him such pleasure. How are the rest of you up there faring?

I'll be dragging in the Australian tree fern tonight and covering my new
camellia to protect the buds, although it probably doesn't need it. I
can't
bear the thought of losing the flowers after waiting so long to get my
favorite camellia back. LOL!
