April Polar Vortex

Bipolar swing here from a record breaking 85* this weekend, then 27* Tuesday night. Everything's in bloom and many things are already pollinated with tiny fruit hanging, so this will be catastrophic.

Hide ya wife, hide the kids!

Hide ya wife, hide the kids!
I'm gonna be hiding everything!
Have some planning to do this weekend. Ugh!
 
We are expecting a frost Monday night, and a freeze Tuesday night. I ordered extra frost clothes, but honestly how spread apart my plants and fruits are, I will not be able to cover it all. 'most' of my fruits are in huge pots...but too tall to fit into the greenhouse. Greenhouse is unheated, guess I'll need to go get one last round of hay. We also have tiny plums and peaches, and even kiwi coming on, not to mention the currants I was so proud of last week. What a tease last week was.....our air went out, we had two days of record temps, and it was 82 in our house. Finally got somebody here to fix that, and now I have to worry about the temps dropping and protecting plants. In Tennessee we call this Dogwood winter.
