saying 38 in Dallas......good luck keeping it covered in this wind

Yeah, the wind is pretty strong here....most of my larger plants are in buckets that I could move inside if I need to.

yep, I got every plant in the garage. That much cold wind just might be as bad as a freeze


got gusts at 43 mph right now

The weather channel says it's 47° now but feels like 39° with the NNW wind at 23 mph gusting to 34 mph.It's been sprinkling lightly here and since the plants are wet i'm leaving them out.I have them tied so they're not going to tip over.

Moved our tomato plants inside. Raised bed got a good rain soaking this afternoon.

Leaving that uncovered.

Sorry about the weather you guys are dealing with up North. Just snapped a few pics & thought I would share.
After we planted I think my two year old was casting a spell on the garden LOL, (not sure what he was doing with his hand), "POOF" now grow garden, GROW! It's growing.....

Em be maters growing.....




Hot Jalapenos....

Looking forward to pics of the vegetable garden and the rest of the pepper garden.

I watered and covered up what I could. Dammit, it's May and this is Texas. Go away cold fronts.

I didn't cover any of mine, I don't really have a away to cover em now that they are bigger, I would have to pull all my cages, it only got to about 41 at my house.

Dang Skinner looks great

I didnt cover anything, but did loose two plants to the wind

Dang skinner, looking great. It's funny to me the stages gardens are at in different parts of the state. My maters are still tiny, but it got down to the mid 30s in my neck of the woods last night.

Got down to 33 this morning here I checked my plants before I left for work and they all looked good I guess it didn't stay cold long enough to hurt them

It was 37 here at 7 am but now the wind is blowing 13 and gusting to 20 mph.If the temp doesn't get em the dang wind will tear them up since it's supposed to blow all day.
* I just saw where it's going to blow a steady 20 mph this afternoon out of the NNW then switch out of the WSW at 14 mph.Time to build a temp wind break and sprinkle some water on the plants.

I ran bird dogs into a 30 MPH wind this morning. I got back and looked at my garden. One squash was broken off at the roots.

One of my neighbors garden. He doesn't like it crowded.

That's corn and what else?

Tomatoes, squash, jalapenos, bell peppers and okra plus some others.

Looks like a lot of basil and dill.

Noticed some of the leaves on my tomatoes I have hanging have spots on them and a few are curled up. its only a few leaves and most of the others look fine. Any thoughts?






Also found these on my Better Boy:

My first guess would be blisters from water, and sun.

Cow doc, did you use any Malathion on your plants?


If not it looks like early blight to me.

Dang blooms keep dropping off my maters!

I haven't sprayed these with anything. My tomatoes that I have in the ground don't seem to be having any problems.

How are you watering the plants and at what time?

Water hose. Usually late evening after work. Around 6:30-7

I wouldn't water them in the evenings it promotes blight. I would water them in the morning and around the base/stem.
