Frost Warning Tonight

Just as my cardoon is beginning to flower.

Cardoon (Cynara cardunculus) early August

Today, getting ready to flower

Drats. This frost is 2 weeks early. Hang in there, bud.

Update [2013-09-08]

Another frost warning tonight (yikes!) but my bud has bloomed
and is showing off nicely. :)

Tonight, I rest easy.

4C? In July?

It went down to 4C, last night. What's up with that? Mother Nature is throwing some spectacular curveballs this season. Fine year to be growing gourds, okra and peanuts.





NOT.
