Hometown Gardener

Body
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?
