Another Deep Freeze Incoming
Beginning this weekend, the 17th through the 20th of January 2025 we’re expecting another hard freeze. This means it’s time again to make sure that your plants are adequately taken care of. If you already have freeze cloth installed, don’t remove it, just leave it in place. With an adequate ground seal the frost cloth can provide as much as a 10°F increase in temperature around your plants. This means that the lows in the teens that we’re expecting this weekend will feel more like lows in the mid 20°s which may still damage some plants, but should not kill your hardy plants. It should be noted that the white frost cloth does still allow plenty of sunlight through to nurture and feed your plants with existing winter foliage or evergreen plants. The other thing you can do to help protect your plants is to water them deeply immediately before…
It’s COLD outside! Winter gardening activities for January.
The cold weather has settled in for the winter and most gardens have gone to sleep for the season. But that doesn’t mean that we’re done: Now is the perfect time for getting all of your necessary chores done before the big spring. In the winter, right now, when woody trees and shrubs are dormant, is the perfect time for planting. If you’ve considered adding these to your landscape, especially Japanese maples, this is when you want to go ahead and set them in the ground. You won’t see much activity until the spring, but the roots will be active setting your new plant up for a marvelous flush of new leaves when the warm weather returns. Despite their dormancy it is still critically important to properly water in your new trees and shrubs in order to encourage proper root growth. Consider native trees for your Texas garden. They will…
First a freeze, now SNOW?
As if the hard freeze starting tonight wasn’t enough, now we have a significant chance of snow and ice. What’s a North Texas gardener to do? First, tonight, Sunday night, deeply water everything you can. The liquid water helps protect the plant and roots from the freezing cold air. The freezing nights are expected to last through Friday, and current forecasts have a good chance of ice and / or snow for most of North Texas. What does that mean for our gardens? Hopefully by now you’ve moved all of your potted plants inside. The cold weather will get to them first as they don’t have the advantage of warmth from the earth itself to keep the roots and bulbs from freezing. Any other cold sensitive plants in the ground should be covered with frost cloth. This helps protect from the freezing winds and traps heat from the ground to…
There’s a FREEZE coming! What do I do?
Yes, that’s right our first hard freeze of the winter is just a few days away, forecast to hit Sunday night / Monday morning with lows in the 20s. And, it’s not just one night but expected to last 3-4 nights of hard freezing weather. But don’t panic. Most plants that we have in North Texas are winter hardy to zones 7a/b and should be fine, though they might go dormant. Summer perennials such as lantanas will die back to the ground, but they’ll be back next year. Summer and fall annuals that are not freeze hardy will die back, but that’s perfectly normal. Fall and winter annuals such as pansies, dianthus, and decorative kale will be just fine. For your sensitive perennial plants, those that are not particularly freeze hardy, there are a number of things that you can do. The first is, Sunday afternoon before the freeze hits…
