>>1225593...and here we are. Currently -3.6C, last night low of -4.7. In late March. In zone 8a. FML.
None of the direct sown stuff has sprouted yet (visibly) but I guess I'll have to re-sow just in case.
Some fruit trees that had started flowering like apple and cherry might be fucked though, luckily I have none of those, just two pears and a quince that are still dormant - haven't checked on the kiwis yet, they tend to bloom relatively early too
Also I left all the yucca and date palm ornamentals outside this time, I simply refuse to carry all that heavy shit back in again this late.
No improvement in sight for the next week either, lows may drop to -5
By this time last year, I already had my tomatoes and peppers in the ground... what a bunch of horse shit
