spring has been weird with regard to the weather. From a day at 89°F in early
April to freezing in May. There were some flowering trees and Lilacs that were
fooled by the early warmth and then had their buds frozen. Farmers have had
their early strawberry flowers frozen off and fruit trees will be having low
yields due to the freezing of their flowers.
I grow a lot of annuals and some perennials, starting in late winter, indoors under lights. Last year they were transplanted outdoors by mid May. This year it would have killed them. Hardening off would have meant frozen stiff. |
