We are still recuperating from our recent mid 20 degree icey weather last week. Donny was up three nights in a row making sure nursery stayed above freezing running propane heaters and a generator when the electricity went out.
 |
| Herb plants survived the unusual freeze we had, thanks to our cold weather protection. |
 |
| Neighbor's iced over mesquite trees run along the fence line. |
 |
| Most everything covered with a layer of ice before it melted. |
 |
| Water melting from heated greenhouse formed icicles. |
 |
| Broccoli, cauliflower and romanesco plants covered in nature's blanket. |
 |
| Live oak covered in ice. |
 |
| Purple cauliflower |
 |
| Icicle Man goes amuck. |
 |
| Mesquite tree lined roadway shimmering from the ice covered branches. |
 |
Watered garden well. Placing large plastic pots over herb
shrubs then covering with serapes helped protect newly
planted and existing herb garden plants from the freeze. |
This is most unusual weather for our normal sunny, breezy, South Texas - I think everyone is still finding out what if any damage they've had from this cold snap.
Hope you fared well, wherever you may be.
