Late frost - got my “watch for it” going on….

[Jim Boyd]

Got whacked the last two years running.

Pears and sawtooths definitely at risk.

Glad the pecans and persimmons have more sense…,,

"Late frost" in mid-February?
Our average last frost date here is May 10th. It's been in the low 20s about every morning this week. I need to move down there in the winter.

Our “late frost” would be early to mid March.

15-20 days from now.

Grass is growing, some flowers are starting to bloom and many trees (including sawtooths) are budding.

We just watch and wait!

We got plenty of room.

Acreage is relatively cheap.

Dont say that too loud, yankees will hear and you will be overrun.

They're calling for snow here tonight and high temp in the 30sw tomorrow.

I do not know of a single Yankee or Atlanta yuppie down here.

May be here but they are not my neighbor or in my friend base.

I already own a place on the SC/GA line just above Augusta in McCormick County, on the Little River arm of Clark's Hill. I'm headed down there next weekend to get away from this winter crap for a couple days, catch some crappies and catfish.

This takes us to late February but I am still watching and worrying.

I have about 250 sawtooths and 50+ pears to worry about plus fruit trees, bushes, flowers, etc.

They will be fine if God wills it!

Good luck sir! We got the fire blight up here bad last year. Hoping for a better year this go round.

Biggest thing I have seen is a late frost.

Finger crossed… for both of us !

I stay nervous until about Easter here, need to check my trees since it’s been pretty warm the last week or so.

We still looking for grouse in the burns!

Snow on the ground here this morning. High is supposed to be about 34.

Seeing a few flowers blooming and trees budding in the Augusta area and on a drive down south yesterday toward Girard yesterday saw a quite a few trees with buds. Mrs. Hoss is hankering for warmer weather, but I’m fine with it staying a bit cooler. Don’t need another year like last year with things blooming and then a hard frost. I want some peaches this year.

Exactly the issue.

We caught a late frost the last 2 years. We made almost zero sawtooth acorns and made pears very sparingly.


Good luck Hoss

I’m watching out 10 days but the next few days are worrisome.

 

[Jim Boyd]
