Well I thought I’d start a new thread. I’m looking forward to a good growing season this year. Spring isn’t really here yet, but winter is slowly releasing its grip. By the equinox things start to really improve. Today is cloudy with rain returning tomorrow. A min of 12.5C this morning with a top of 18C forecast. The garden knows spring is upon us soon. The deciduous trees are in bud burst with the grapevines swelling there buds. My Rhopies, Howeas, and Archontophoenix are all opening spears in anticipation. Bring it on.

Is the climate of Dallas closer to Minneapolis or to Miami?

This same topic was made and exploded on the ol' City-Data Weather: https://www.city-data.com/forum/weather/3375676-climate-dallas-more-similar-climate-minneapolis.html Emman85 (a member both there and here) participated quite a bit, but to my knowledge no one else on here did, so I figured to make it here because you folks here on Palmtalk might find it of interest. Not just for the comparison between the climates, but for its overlap in premise with much discussed climates on here. Here's the comparison and contrast that overlaps what we discussed. "Dallas may not have continental winter temperatures but it does get continental winter patterns and can …

This was planted by a landscaper about 6-8 months ago and the original grinds started turning brown but the new ones looked ok. We have tried increasing water but it’s getting hotter and now the new ones growing from the middle look dry and yellow and unhealthy. I think it get 20 min of water every morning at 6 am. Anyone have any help or tips… I don’t think my landscaper knows what to do to make sure it doesn’t die help! Is it look better to anyone then I am thinking? I am worried it’s too late already and 120 degrees is coming!

length of nightly cool down and plants
by flplantguy- 1 follower
- 9 replies

Like the title says, Im wondering about the length of time a given location reaches its low (high) temp for the night (day) and the effect on plants in the garden. If the time is only minutes (like a light freeze) does it have any effect at all? If a plant likes cool nights and its warmer before a small drop at sunrise can you even count it? We average out numbers for plants in heating and cooling degree days for this purpose but its more for farming and less for plant microclimate. In Florida inland locations cool more than the coast and warmer nights are an issue on the water, but what about the adjacent lands that hit lower temps for short periods? How does that ef…

Why Southeast US Airports Are Often Cold Spots
by Can't think of username- 19 replies
- 879 views
All my research into why the Tallahassee airport official weather station is such a cold spot has taught me a lot as to why other Southeast US airports are also cold spots. To give those who missed those comments some context, the Tallahassee airport is a cold spot that has colder lows than many other places in the Southeast US because deforestation surrounding the airport leads to massively disproportionate soil drainage and ground/sky exposure that are both apt to make readings colder on the clear, calm, nights that are all too common in the Southeast US. 3 studies have been conducted on the matter and I can recommend all of them. https://www.researchgate.net/publi…

Coconut Palm in Sarasota, FL?
by Emarohl- 1 follower

- 2.6k views
i just moved to Sarasota and am starting to plant trees in the backyard. I recently bought a small coconut palm maybe about 2-3 feet tall and planted it outside in our yard. I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts or advice on a coconut palm growing here. I know they aren’t very cold hardy. Our house is less than .5 miles from the Sarasota bay and west of highway 41. The yard gets plenty of sunlight and has good drainage. Will it be too cold for it to survive? Can I cover it in cold snaps to keep it warm? Coldest it got this year in our area was 38 deg. According to maps online we are right on the cusp of 9b and 10a. Wondering if anyone in the area had experience with…

It's that time of year again when the Southwestern U.S and N.W. Mexico enters the best season here.. The heat, towering walls of dust ..Lightning filled evenings, and humid, Hawaii-esque mornings.. That time of year when somewhat boring dry and thirsty landscapes are magically brought to life and can resemble places far wetter than one would assume.. Unlike prior years, i'm breaking this year's Monsoon thread into 2 parts: ....The here and now, and some personal thoughts on what may lie further out on the horizon.. Some interesting insight on what plants can tell us about weather patterns at certain times of the year as well.. Starting things off... …

Well it looks like we've turned the corner again and had a very brief Spring. I have a chance of some rain tonight but after that it looks like warm to hot and no precipitation. I'm going to have to get the irrigation repaired this weekend.

Watering the garden with HomeKit (for smarthome users)

I installed a micro-drip system from Gardena last week in combination with the Eve aqua. Now the bamboo is watered automatically and it also checks the weather forecast whether it is needed at all. Of course this solution is more expensive than a traditional timer for instance, but it is nice to have it automated so you do not have to keep an eye on it. More for the people that already automated parts of their house. 😇

I didnt quite realize how popular these threads were until this year, so here we are! "Happy" Hurricane Season. We will start off with the forecast for the season, and what we currently have going on out there right now. The forecast from just about every agency or group that puts out a seasonal forecast is calling for an ABOVE AVERAGE season this year. Colorado State University put out their forecast calling for 19 named storms, 9 of those being hurricanes, and 4 being major hurricanes. NOAA has also put out their forecast, and they are calling for 14-21 named storms, 6-10 of those being hurricanes, and 3-6 of those hurricanes being major hurricanes. The a…

United States Severe Weather 1 2

I got bored and started thinking, what if i create a thread specific to severe weather events? I thought about this partly because of the event that has occurred across portions of Texas and Oklahoma today, this activity is spreading over Arkansas as i type this. If you do not know, the Storm Prediction Center has 5 severe weather risk categories. Marginal (1/5) - 5% severe threat Slight (2/5) - 15% severe threat Enhanced (3/5) - 30% severe threat Moderate (4/5) - 45% severe threat High (5/5) - 60% severe threat So what do the percentages mean? Well, say you are under a Slight Risk, this means there is a 15% chance of seeing severe weather within a 25 …

With Monsoon 2022 now in the books, attention across the U.S. Southwest and California now turns to what may lie ahead for the winter ahead.. After a " decent " Monsoon season here, and some other parts of the Southwest, ..and parts of Southern California, will the trend of the last couple years continue? or, could the 3rd La Nina winter throw some interesting curves into the mix? For the moment, here at least, " Fantastic Fall Hiking Season" has returned as " Sizzle Season " looks to be put to bed.. Warmth will continue for the time being, in the low deserts at least, but, 80s and 90s are better than daily 100+ (++) heat, especially now that nights are trending …

Southwestern U.S. and California Spring and Summer 2023 Wx ....The "Seasons of many questions" ahead thread..

After what has been quite a remarkable, and completely out-of-the-blue winter, that doesn't seem to want to end as we head into the spring, just what lies ahead this year.. Simply put, lots of questions.. ***How quickly will the low desert snap from our extended mild/ occasionally showery ( and snowy ) pattern, to the frying pan? *** Will California whiplash from the present and persistent cool / cold / wet pattern to hot and dry -by their standards-, or will " Nice / ideal Spring Weather" keep getting kicked down the road until ...June...? If the state does head into a prolonged warm / hot episode, how will this effect how quickly a gi- normus amount of snow…
