Umm… Well… I won’t say what the temps were today.. I’ll just say I was sweating… ;)

Well you can sure tell it’s the long weekend.Rainy Sat.,freezing at night,cold and windy on Sun and Mon. Yep that’s a tipical long weekend here. (LOL)
And all my seedlings are crying to be planted.

-- Bon,Hastings,Ont.....zone 5a....Always room for one more

sure is! Rick says “this is ridiculous!” I say, “Um.. it’s what we experience every year!” Fireworks in the rain while wearing a snowsuit lol

HaHaHa! I certainly relate to that MsDeb. Remember taking the kids and freezing. Could hardly wait to get home and hot Chocolate.

I covered everything last night, again. But no froze, it stayed overcast and windy. Will do the same exercise again tonight—and tomorrow night—and the next night- – - – - – Oh well, thats the price of gardening. I didn’t plant and wait all year to see my flowers ruined by a freak frost! And I’m stubborn…...............................

forecast says that overnights are now in the 7-10 degree range so I might just plant today!! We might just be over the hump now and on our way to summer.

-- - Debbie, SW Ontario Canada (USDA Hardiness Zone: 5a)

Do you really think so, MsDeb? I’m just waiting for the temp. to come up enough this morning to go out and water everything down. I’m afraid if I do it too soon I’ll just be creating snow. The temp. here is O* C. I checked the birdbath and there is a solid sheet of ice over it. :-( I covered everything again last night so hopefully the bleedinghearts and peonys will not be damaged too much. I still have not planted any of the annual seedlings that I started. I really am getting tired of moving them in and out of the garage.

I awoke to my cut fields of green, looking like a silvery plate…........FROST. It was cold enough yesterday that I pulled out my winter coat and hat.

Small camping propane stoves put here and there, kept the frost at bay in the gardens

Going to an auction this am…..........theres a two pronged plough on the block…..perfect for my tractor

-- but for one rose, love endures

yes, cold yesterday…. but not today. Today it warms up and no “0” temps the rest of the week.
So I predict that we have turned the corner!! And—I’m planting today! That’s how confident I am.

(WARNING: any planting due to these humble words is the gardener’s responsibility to protect against any upcoming cold snaps!) lol

We were 3 degrees colder last night than predicted. Tonight, they are predicting 6C but with clear skies. To me, that suggests that it could get very close to freezing, so I will be lugging plants in and out again for a week or so. Next Saturday, it gets cool also – just in time for my neighbour’s wedding at their home across the street. It will be a chilly night indeed, – until they go indoors. ;)

I note that there is a full moon on the 7th of June. Full moon often suggests frost, although last year, it was beautiful. Yep, I still think that I will wait until the end of this month. It would be a shame to pull up my still blooming tulips in order to plant my dahlias around the fireplace.

Oh what a LOVELY area!!!!!!!!!! And yes, it would be a shame to dig up those blooming Tulips, as they look quite beautiful.

yah.. you don’t need to hurry—you already have lots of colour happening in your yard.

-- - Debbie, SW Ontario Canada (USDA Hardiness Zone: 5a)

... but I do need to plant my dahlias, as they are getting huge, even after being pinched back to make them spread laterally. Such a dilemna. Hopefully the tulips will be done within a week’s time.

Just when I am ready to start planting my dahlias, and giving my other tropical plants their summer home, I checked the weather, and once again they are calling for it to get cold this weekend. ... down to 2C with a clear sky. I guess we know what that means ….. and it starts with F !

Ohhhhh man, how frustrating … is this normal to have a frost this late for you guys?

-- "A beautiful garden is a work of heart" --

I watched the news yesterday morning and didn’t see anything like that.. darn…
thanks for the warning.
