Spring Planting? Not Yet!

Good morning,

   All this week on NBC Action News Today from 5 to 7am we are offering Spring planting tips.  Here is the link to those tips, http://www.backyardgardener.com.  But if you are planning on taking advantage of the nice Spring weather this week, you may want to wait.

   This morning's GFS model has a wicked shot of cold air coming in around April 1st, no fooling. 

   That adds up to a morning low on April first around 25 or 26 degrees.  That's considered a hard freeze.  So far, the fruit trees haven't budded out but a few Spring flowers have, so if you have some flowers you want to see stick around you may want to cover them this Saturday and then on the 1st.  Oh and if this storm strengthens, it may still snow some where in the region Sunday or Monday, lets see how it trends as the week goes unfolds.  Tomorrow, another meteorologist in another part of the country who is talking about a weather pattern that is cycling,

Have a great day,

Brett

Huh? ***** See its got you wondering.  There is another meteorologist in another part of the country, not close to here, that is basing his forecast on a cycle similiar to Gary's.  I'll tell you where and what he said.  Brett

There are plenty of plants that could go outside now, even with some more freezes or frosts expected. Here's  good list:

The bigger issue right now for planting is how wet the soil is. You really can't get out and work the soil when it is wet.  ***** Thanks for info.  I'll be the first to admit I'm not an expert when it comes to plants.  Brett
