33.1° here. Only sign of frost I saw was on top of the truck…not even any dew on the windshield, but we were lightly mixed.

My musa basjoos are in. Chicago hardy fig and mulberries as well. We’ll see how well they can survive a winter here. The fig and bananas will obviously die back to the ground, but hopefully put up new growth in the spring. We have fewer growing DDs than the typical zone 5 because of the slow spring warming.

I’ve never done the beans, but if there’s any of those to wait on it may be those. I think maybe @dryslot does them? Scallions may even be perennial where you are. I know some are perennial down to z6.

yeah pretty much this. Not sure if he’s in as much of a frost pocket like TAN is either. I know Bob tends to be a littler warmer than the rad pit ASOS.

Forsythia just started blooming here

I plant clover seed.

blue pill?

That's not with wind. Probably an elevated hollow.

I had 27.0F and the grass is growing fine. Are you applying the lava rock treatment?

I wonder how far into spring I can go without a 70°. Mehpril.
-
Hell, I’ll take my first 70°

Even 90, 92, 95 at CON

lol at those GFS runs that kept dropping 4"+ here
-
A couple tenths of snow/sleet. It’s a sloppy mess out there. 34.7°
-
Much better than norway maples.

Here’s the big blue spruce by my run and what happens after a couple decades if you plant too many too closely.

Mitch is snowing hard right now.

Wherever they start losing sun the branches in those areas will start to die off. But yeah, plants are smart. If they’re not getting enough sun growing outward, they’ll put more energy into growing upward. That’s why you have so many tall, lanky/leggy trees growing in tall forests. A pine tree that I let grow in the backyard all alone looks like a giant shrub.

Greatest? The rain and mud has sucked.
-
Awesome day. 57.9F and SKC although the high clouds are approaching. Get the crap out of here by late morning tomorrow and maybe we can salvage some afternoon sun too.
-
Make sure you give them some space to grow into. They can get quite large. The people who lived at my place before me planted one alone and some in a grove. The single one is huge and the grove ones have all grown into each other. Some have even been completely overtaken and killed.

My mom asked me if it's normal to be this cold in April. I just laughed and said we've been above normal overall. People are forgetting what our "normal" climate really is.

29.8F CON 25F Glad we're on a hillside

Would like some Stein soon
