Quasarecho Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 Frost over a couple of nights earlier this week. Currently 85F. Red Flag warnings are up. Tornadoes & storms tonight. Freeze over this coming weekend. Rinse & repeat. This Butia has been out for a couple of weeks. Happy as a clam. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeanK Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 I spent time on the west end of MS. Tornados always arrived 9PM to midnight. OK is the place I'd never live. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quasarecho Posted April 24 Author Report Share Posted April 24 Well, as promised freeze overnight. The weatherman said that the temps this morning were the coldest on this date since 1910. Going on to say "they had horses and buggies running around Monument Circle (Indy) at that point". Didn't bother covering up Butia. They do just fine in this weather.

westfork Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 Yep, 23 this morning and 19 yesterday morning. Quite a change from temperatures in the 90s earlier in April. But it is spring in the Midwest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quasarecho Posted May 4 Author Report Share Posted May 4 Ugh! April 20 is usually the all-clear for frost here. Now, tonight, frost warnings up and close to freezing overnight. 80s by Sunday and through next week. Fortunately a warm winter and 2nd year for the Needle in the ground... Growing.

When you get out can you start posting pictures of the Sabals that you mentioned were growing and thriving in Chicago? @teddytn Subscribe to my YouTube here to follow along my Sabal obsession.... Quite possibly one of the biggest Sabal plantings in the US. Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/sabalking.texas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChicagoPalma Posted May 4 Report Share Posted May 4 If not I’ll send pics on what’s growing around my neighborhood and the tropical garden I’m going to work on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ Posted May 5 Report Share Posted May 5 “Safe to plant” when I lived in northern New England was Memorial Day. 🙄 we definitely had late May frosts and I got smacked many a time planting veggies before Memorial Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
