🚨 POLAR VORTEX TO HIT DEEP SOUTH 🚨

[JohnAndSancho]

 

I planted something. This means it's gonna snow next week. My bad! 

 

And yeah I made sure to dig deep, amended the hole with my bokashi compost and some gravel mixed with the clay and dug a few drainage trenches that'll eventually tie into the French drains where my Thai Giant colocasias are gonna go. An hour of work and I'm ready to die. Anyway don't put your flannel sheets away and this is all my fault.

 

Also those are not weeds, those are native plants 😂

Fixing to go throw a couple of your Giants where the dead washies are. It's also funny how plants look so much smaller when there isn't a ceiling for them to butt up against.

where in mississippi are you? I could be wrong but I haven't seen Arctic blast warnings for the Mississippi area or the south at all recently. but I don't live down there so I don't know

It's a joke. I've been joking with people about how I'm cursed and the minute I plant something we're gonna get a blizzard

 

But I'm about 40 miles south of Meridian, right on the Alabama line.

@Fusca I'm sorry I killed your washies. But I still need to figure out which crape myrtle is the white one and get some seedlings for you when they start to bloom again.

Only like 9 more to go lol. I'm gonna keep 2 in the buckets to bring back in when it gets cold to see if I can get them to fruit. I know I've said this 8 times already but they seem so much smaller when there's not a ceiling for them to hit.

If you mean to leave them in the buckets outside for the growing season, protect them from wind or they'll topple. But surely you will have bigger plants to overwinter if you plant them now and dig in fall? Big stalks root just as fast as the little ones. Much harder to lift, though!

Oh yeah most of them are gonna go in the ground but I will get all Bob Vila for a couple and the rest I'll just restart from pups and leave the rhizomes in the yard. Banana plantation inbound.
