The honey bees were swarming all over it. I could hear them buzzing about 5 feet away.
This will be tricky about freezes. It can get down to around 28° and still have some fruit.... |

| It will be tricky because you know our weather. One time when the brugmansia was blooming too late in the fall, I put the nozzle on mist and left the water on all night. I hope you make it. |

| Crossing my fingers for you. The forecast looks good right now but those weathermen change their minds a lot. How long ago did you plant it?
|
|
| I planted it pretty soon after we moved here in the early 90's. I have heard about spraying a fine mist. I may give it a try if I get desperate. |

| I'd love to get an apricot I could keep in a pot on my patio. If I got a small one, I could drag it into my basement easily. There's no step there. I think I could cover it easily too since there's a balcony above my patio. It's on my someday list. |

| I've been out mowing the yard and could feel the temperature dropping. Just checked the forecast and they're predicting scattered frost for tonight and maybe tomorrow night. I thought of your fruit trees Glenda. Hope it doesn't get too cold. : ( |
|
| Well, we made it through last night.....now if tonight just doesn't get below 28°, we may be safe at last. A light frost wouldn't hurt too bad, maybe just thin a few which should be done anyway. (How's that for an optimistic outlook) |
