My nice Brug has lots of flower pods now that it's late in the season. I'll definitely have one or two blooms within the next couple of days........ but......
A race against time
there are so many wee buds popping up from everywhere now, and I hope they will bloom before the frost comes.....
so I even put a sunshade over the plant at night to keep them from getting any cold dew on them in the night...... daft or what??
Should I forget it and just let them 'chill' lol, or do you think I may see more than 3 flowers.
*hoping*
Wintermoor
Wintermoor, we already had our first frost and my plants are all in a sheltered position. Tonight, it will be another frost night. I would advise, to buy a frost watcher. Mine is already 8 years old but is like a finger on my hand. It tells me, if its gone freeze that night.
I have too many plants, so I have to start early with pruning, but I know, when danger is coming up.
Monika what's a frost watcher? I never heard of such a thing. I need one!
It is a Hygromat. In the afternoon or at sundown, it tells you, if the temperatures drop under the freezing point.
Its to 99% reliable.
Hmmm - I'll have to look for one of those. Thanks!
I think, its a british product.
Poppy, If you find one please let me know where. I really need one too. Thanks
Thanks Monika, I'll get one tomorrow
Ba I wait for PM.LOL
Greetings Ludger
I need one too, we are in a valley, it frosts before the city does. If their weather says 42*, I will cover, because we can be 10* colder.(that's *F)
Is it the same thing as a Hygrometer?
In doing a search, there is more than one kind of hybrometer. You would want to look for the Frost Point Hygrometer.
