Freeze Warning in Effect for Tonight !

Monday, March 26 - Tonight we have a freeze or frost warning from 3am Tuesday until 9am March 27th.

For this time of year, this is not usually a concern however with the unusually high temperatures last week, (temperatures about average of 16 degrees) many spring flowers have begun to break the soil surface and in some cases have bloomed. If this is the case, you may want to consider covering those plants to insure there is no damage.

For your cool weather crops which have been planted, there is not much a concern. However with the warmth mentioned last week and the coolness we are now experiencing, strawberries could be affected. If you have any straw, it may be a good idea to cover any strawberries and especially any plants which are beginning to show buds.

Good luck and hope you have no or minimal damage from conditions we may have this evening.
