Okay, we had our first official freeze, some sleet and some snowflakes, but the warm season plants did not die? We saw pictures posted on the internet in awe and disbelief. I posted a picture of our Red Cascade rose blooming away with fresh buds showing. I even have a Texas sage that is blooming new flowers today after the freeze. I recorded 26(f) at the homestead Thursday morning after everything cleared off. It is a fact that the coldest night is always after the clouds clear off and the winds die down. Still, I just checked my three peppers and one tomato in containers out by our pond this morning. I failed to cover them yet all are alive with the peppers looking fine and the tomato looking a bit haggard but has a small tomato hanging on a still green stalk minus most its leaves. So what’s up with all this?
