That would equal the record low for May. The weather Channel says 37/35/39 for the next three nights. I hope they're closer to being correct than the local news.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-57208387247342665102010-05-04T18:26:20.685-07:002010-05-04T18:26:20.685-07:00Ugh!

Of course, I haven't tried bending over yet ;-)<br /><br />********<br />Thomas, I really like to wait until temperatures are 45 or higher at night. If it's too cold, the basil will just sit and sulk and turn pale, anyway. I set mine out in pots this year, expecting the higher night time temps. I just didn't have time to get all the pots out of the garden before the wind hit. I'm not terribly concerned, as basil grows fast and there is time for me to start another batch if mine succumbed from wind damage.<br /><br />The last time my back "went out", all I did was bend over to pick up a tumbleweed from the driveway. That was years ago, but I remember being bent over for days!<br /><br />********<br />Tatayana, I want that February weather back!<br /><br />********<br />Mr. H., look out in your yard and see if my broccoli plant ended up at your place! ;-)Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-74841267724129439282010-05-04T06:26:43.767-07:002010-05-04T06:26:43.767-07:00I am very sorry to hear about the winds out there....I am very sorry to hear about the winds out there.

We got winds too but our stand of tall trees that surrounds our property provides a really good wind break and keeps the worst of it from hitting us. We end up with a lawn, driveway, and garden full up of branches, needles and pinecones though. What a mess.<br /><br />Hope your back is better today and all your plants rebound.kitsapFGhttp://www.modernvictorygarden.com/apps/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-80312298275613518882010-05-04T06:04:42.365-07:002010-05-04T06:04:42.365-07:00Sorry to hear about your weather related and physi...Sorry to hear about your weather related and physical problems right now.

Marc has back problems and I'm amazed that sometimes lit just takes the slighted awkard movement for it to act up.<br /><br />I was planning on planted out my basil today only because they are not doing well inside. (No growth and yellowing tiny leaves). Our night are now in the 40s. Do you think they will be ok?Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09303344546714641616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-57068681644791663202010-05-04T04:08:30.731-07:002010-05-04T04:08:30.731-07:00Wow, I hope everything looks better when you head ...Wow, I hope everything looks better when you head out today!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916896512933101955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-57437051761799377202010-05-04T04:08:30.732-07:002010-05-04T04:08:30.732-07:00Sorry Granny....that...
