Frost for Thanksgiving

| I usually go out and cut some flowers from the garden for my Thanksgiving dinner table, but this year I was out of luck. Withoutt warning (the weatherman probably made a mistake) I woke up to realize we had been HIT - everything that was blooming so well was gone. I had to salvage a few marigolds for my bouquet. My biggest disappointment is my Brugmansia - I have grown it outdoors for 2 years and it was full of buds - just about to open. Now I'll have to wait another year. |

| Northerner, sorry to hear that your Brug got hit with the frost....but, like you said, there is always next year! We were hit with frost too. Today I will go out and cut down all the frost damaged plants and see if there are any viable seeds to grab. Is anyone planning next year's plants/garden yet?
I am looking forward to it already. YIKES! |

| Frost??? Heck, we had s***! LOL Our summer, such as it was, came to a crashing halt around the end of September. No flowers for Thanksgiving here either. :( There probably won't be many seeds for me - just the year that my aunt asked for some. I'll be able to get a few for her but not many. I'm always planning ahead - the trick is to remember those plans. I often write notes to myself and put them in my garden journal. That's one place i always look! |
