Frost warning for tonight and a couple more nights!
We are expecting a frost tonight and for a while, per various semi-reliable sources, so accordingly prepare your crops! Heavy-weight floating row cover (Ree-May, Agribon, etc.) will protect your tender plants down to +26 F., probably 😊, or you could use some light-weight flannel sheets, or you can do as some of our gardening neighbors do: run an extension cord out to the garden, and plug in some of the older, bigger Christmas tree bulb strings (thrift store or yard sale items) - you might still want to cover the plants and or bed with something to conserve the heat from the bulbs. Besides, your garden will look cool from space!
Club videographer Geoff Carson has produced another fine class presentation from our 11 May 2021 meeting: Diane Stutzman from Desert Jewels Nursery spoke to us on the topic of attracting pollinators to our gardens. You can view the class in it's entirety, complete with background chatter and comments from club members, at the following Youtube links:

High winds, late frost, no rain - weird weather makes our lives...interesting.
