Weather in the Garden #137

and counting

felt too chilly to work outside today. 50's for tomorrow, so a good chance to finish tidying up and working a little on a fertile swale for near the road. Not too cold to make some online orders for those part-shade areas, mostly dwarf native shrubs and a few sale conifer seedlings for sun.

spent all day outside raking - "only" have the backyard left to do.

have taken delivery of several conifers - tough planting today ground was a good 4-6" solid - looking forward to the warm up.

Ground very frozen here as well! Walked out to feed the birds this morning & couldn't believe how warm it felt.....will enjoy the next few days.....

Ground should be a little softer today. I'll be lucky if I just finish cleaning up, but did buy a few dwarf witch hazels and basic conifers on sale for later delivery-- finally a Golden Spreader seedling and a gold tipped picea glauca to contrast with p.o. Spring Frost. For me it's because without all the leaves there are clear places that need year-round color. What did you get, Bill?

It is going up to 55 degrees today and I am planning to plant some tulip bulbs in a nice large pot and putting in a Red Dinner plate hibiscus in the garden bed.

57° clear slight breeze I am hoping to get some pine seedling trees cut for Advent wreaths at church. The squirrels plant them where we don't want them.

got my last bulbs planted today and a lot of raking.

Rosemary - p.a. red devil, a. k. blue emperor, and mugo wintergold - have a large chief joseph coming with another dwarf blue abies. Have been looking for more bed expansion for these new additions.

Ohh! I'm not familiar with the first two cultivars. Chief Joseph will lend some very impressive color. Just love conifers, and yours also keep the JMs company.

Opened the door this morning, & warm air flowed in.....felt great, even though it was raining.....

Lovely day today in the sixties and is relieved that I got my last planting job done yesterday . Also sow some Allium seeds all over my garden , hoping they will relly enhance my yard. Leaving the north for a while and going to Florida to visit my son for Thankgiving.

went from 55 to 41 today. our warm up is over

No use for the warm temperature here it was a rainy day. Still 50s tomorrow so hope we can get some small pines cut for Advent wreaths at church.

Another nice day today......waiting to see if we get a lot of snow tomorrow!

The snow has begun....ugh! Expecting 4-6"....ugh!

Please batten down the hatches and be safe everyone! I appealed to DS to come home last night, and DD2 who intended to drive home had a radiator hose break, but the mechanical whiz that she is, she got a ride to the autoparts store, listened to their instructions and fixed it. Now while it is 43 and only overcast it is nice they are sleeping in.

Lucky them, and smart to travel before the storm. We're waiting to see if my DD, SIL and Gkids can get here, and when, or if we'll re-group in NYC,
Pic 1 is 20 minutes before the others.

in the 30's here, and gloomy

39° Hard rain when I went to the Dr. office for my checkup--chunks of snow coming now, but I don't think that will last. the rain is coming up the coast.

The family is due to arrive soon-Yay! We got about 6" so far, seems to haved slowed way down now.

We ended up with 5" here......rain really made a mess of things......lots of ice this morning....headed to the farm to celebrate at noon....hope the roads are OK by then.....Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Happy Thanksgiving, all. 35° & couple inches of snow.

Had an awesome day yesterday...there were 26 of us at the farm celebrating.....the kids made turkey placemats for everyone....really cute.

22 and about 1 1/2" of snow overnight

27° 2 more inches of snow.

Just frigid here last night....highs of 30 today before warm up tomorrow & most of next week....hope every flake melts!

high of low 40's today

33° sunny & very little wind. It is supposed to be in the 50s tomorrow. It better hurry.

14 overnight, 19 when we left this morning at 10 am. The house is closed, we'll be back in the spring. It was a balmy 34 by the time we got to NY?

This morning started out in the 20s, rather than the teens....cloudy all day, but high around 48......hoping a lot of this snow goes! And doesn't come back!

50 and gloomy

55° still feel cold from leftover temperature. Visiting family left & I am hoping for a good drive for them.

good couple days was able to get out to my xcountry ski trails and clear off the fallen trees.

Warm today...hit 50 here, but I was inside entertaining my writing group......

Warm here today, too. Almost too warm for a sweatshirt.

63° today. I wore my sweatshirt as while warmer, still needed it. Better than a fleece shirt.

Cloudy & chilly right now....high of only 30.....freezing rain later today.....

Icky, sleety stuff!!

33° rain later (might be 'freezing' at that temperature.) Snow is listed as further north. Really gloomy outside.

No ice here....snow changed to rain....now it's foggy......much better than snow!
