I got excited when the weather appeared to be taking it easy on me. But, as we all know, nature is unpredictable at the least. I have two seed trays with many seedlings in them which will have to be potted up to allow them to grow. I will do that but where they go next is the question.
It appears that the weather will be turning much colder for the next 6-10 days with a possible recurrence towards the end of March into early April. Low temps are estimated to be reaching the mid 20's for a couple of days. This is not the normal temps and kind of reminds me of February. Not the ideal for sure.
Right now, the temps in my greenhouse are swinging wildly to put it mildly. The picture shows the hi and lows that occurred yesterday. 97 is pretty warm for early season crops but it only happens for an hour or two. What I watch is the overnight low which for yesterday is pretty good at 34. If it goes to 30 or below, that's where I see damage to the plants. Seedlings would struggle at these temps for sure. So, here I sit with seedlings with nowhere to go but my basement.
Time will tell but given that the local news weather forecasts have changed in the last few days, I have a pretty good suspicions it will pan out to be unseasonably cold. I'm just going to have to adapt to it.
Well, that's all for now. Hoping everyone is being successful in their gardening adventures. Until next time, Happy Gardening everyone.
