We still have snow on the ground from the big snow 2 weeks ago, which is really unusual. The temps have stayed well below freezing and I fear for my garage trees, fingers crossed. We are supposed to warm up starting Saturday and see some temps in the 40's. I'm ready for spring....
No one freak out by the brutal cold that will be here in a few days

I see life like this in my yard and that give me confidence in leaving most of my trees out during the cold. We get down to the low single digits and have days we also do not get above freezing, but yet my rose bushes still have at least 1/3 of their leaves, herbs survive in raised garden as well as many other plants you would not expect to survive this type of cold. I still put some trees in the garage but nothing like last year.Here in East Tennessee, near Knoxville, we have just gone above freezing for the first time in at least 5 days, with consecutive nights in the low teens and a low of 9 F yesterday. I have munched, covered with plastic, and broken my back to drag stuff into my unheated garage, where, according to my car, the temperature went down Tuesday night to 36. Amid all this worry, I present you with a picture just now of some collards I got for a buck per six pack, forgot to plant, tossed in one of my growing tanks last fall still in their six pack container.
I think there's hope my trees will all survive the polar blast.
