frost!!

auburnfan28 · 04-10-2012, 12:18 PM

Well no frost the whole month of March here in central Alabama and tomorrow night they are calling for a low of around 36 with frost possible if not likely!!! Go away cold, haha. Anyone else have nanners to protect from this cold snap?

kaczercat · 04-10-2012, 01:05 PM

Ohh that sucks! we had I think 2 frosts about week and a half ago and none since then, I just put a garbage can over mine. Hope your will be okay!

caliboy1994 · 04-10-2012, 02:44 PM

You guys make me feel so lucky! Not a single frost this winter.

auburnfan28 · 04-10-2012, 03:39 PM

Must be nice caliboy1994, haha. I think I'm just gonna quit trying to get a jump on growing things, cuz every year I try to get a head start, and we always end up with a late season coldsnap.

amantedelenguaje · 04-10-2012, 03:48 PM

The meteorologists are calling for possible frost here in the foothills of NC too. Thankfully, all my nanners are in pots. I just have to lug them back into the house. However, my peach, blueberry, and fig plants may suffer a little. I am going to cover them as much as possible and hope for the best. Good thing I haven't planted my garden yet.

caliboy1994 · 04-10-2012, 04:05 PM

I have a sort of a cold snap too. This coming Saturday's nighttime low is projected to be 39 degrees. Pretty cold for early spring.

Velutina · 04-10-2012, 08:23 PM

It's going to get cool here too!! 52F for a low!!! Nice now, but the bananas will fry in about a month

My Roses are blooming and my Bananas are covered for tha frost tonight. 28 to 32 predicted between 3 and 8 am. Hopefully that wont be long enough to damage them.

George in Missouri.

sandy0225 · 04-11-2012, 06:55 AM

George, we're getting the same weather here.
It was 30 this morning. I covered all my bananas up with 2 bath towels each last night, also my pink chinas, and my 3 tomato plants that I put out a month ago with large cardboard boxes. We have one more cold night then the forecast is looking much better.
Some of my basjoo are already 2 feet tall, I will need boxes for them too if it gets cold again later on.
I know it's too early here to have tomato plants out but it was so nice I just had to. Besides I know this greenhouse nearby where I can get more if I have to! LOL...

auburnfan28 · 04-12-2012, 02:40 PM

Well, we dodged a bullet, only got down to 40, no frost. Now winter, its time to get out of here for good. Now its time to grow some bananas, lol.

George Webster · 04-13-2012, 09:35 AM

I had two tomatoes two banana's and three hydrangias covered; but it only got 43 at my house. We are on high ground. down hill, half mile away they got 28 for a couple of hours.

Hopefully, it is now safe to plant the rest of the tomatoes.

stumpy4700 · 04-13-2012, 12:08 PM

I have 2 plants at another property that got frosted, not a real hard one. Will that kill it back down to the corm, or will I need to just peel back a few layers. They are anout 4 ft tall with 2 leaves already.

auburnfan28 · 04-13-2012, 12:45 PM

You will probably be fine just to cut the burnt leaves off. I would think the p-stem would be fine.
