This week has been cold and rainy; the weather hasn’t been suitable for working outside.
I put the plants I had stored in the garage out last weekend. Last night, the weatherman had predicted a low of 38. When I got up this morning, the temperature was at freezing! I quickly checked my plants, but I think they are not harmed.
The good news from the greenhouse is that the first amaryllis has bloomed! It certainly is beautiful. I have counted 9 bud stalks so far. The geraniums are blooming; soon it will be time to start emptying the greenhouse. The other seedlings are coming along also. Makes me anxious to plant them, but the current chilly weather tells me I should wait. The average last date for frost in East Tennessee is tomorrow.
I bought a tomato plant to put in a larger container in the greenhouse. It has grown already, and should be a good size to plant out when it’s time.
