They call this Dogwood Winter because the Dogwoods have begun to bloom. We have two days of 30' or less with freeze warnings tonight and Tuesday night. I know plastic is not the proper cover for plants, fabric is preferred. But, we were in a hurry.
This is my tender beautiful Bleeding Hearts. It's snowing. I can only hope this will be some protection for them. But, if they die back it won't be the first time. They will have to survive Blackberry winter when it comes along as well. May 10 is usually the last date for hard frosts.
Spring generally doesn't spring forth in all it's glory, but comes teasing and enticing us out to play only to give us the cold shoulder a few times just to keep us on our toes.
This will be hard on all the pretty flowers and fruit trees that have bloomed. Being nipped in the bud is hurtful, but thankfully usually not fatal.
