Every single one of them has the same "WTH with the Weather" thought. I've only been reading them this year so I am not sure if this is a normal occurrence. Is everyone in a fair consensus about things being awry lately?

Especially the container plants which are obviously more vulnerable.

One or two days of snow is fine by me! But enough is enough for me. I did enjoy your posting today. Love the way you write.

Now my garden thinks it's spring and there are all sorts of things starting to grow, including the Magnolia. Frances at 'Fairegarden' said that as long as there is no color from the flower showing they should be okay. <br />I'm kind of looking forward to a little snow.Catherine@AGardenerinProgresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05001060769253273283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5531935909912747730.post-25731446284528577552012-01-12T10:40:24.134-08:002012-01-12T10:40:24.134-08:00Hi Julia!

I would actually welcome some snow because it acts as an insulator from extreme temperature dips (it was 3 degrees last week - F!) I wrote an article last week on using evergreen boughs from our xmas tree to insulate perennials. I think wrapping your buds is your best chance... remembering to unwrap them is the trick! <br /><br />Hope Wife, Mother, Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10601987822088200476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5531935909912747730.post-66396403206590045822012-01-12T02:51:46.717-08:002012-01-12T02:51:46.717-08:00I am not worrying so much about the snow more abo...I am not worrying so much about the snow more about our temps dipping down in the 20's. Unfortunately my plants are on a Darwinian plan (survival of the fittest). I lost my apricot blooms to the cold temps after 70 degree weather. The cherry trees are starting to blooms too! I think your idea of covering your tender plants is a great idea...as for the magnolia it might just have to survive Karin / Southern Meadowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06514989784715204223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5531935909912747730.post-18266699104823820272012-01-11T19:45:36.930-08:002012-01-11T19:45:36.930-08:00I lost 6 rose trees last year to the weather, so a...I lost 6 rose trees last year to the weather, so after work today I put extra leaves and compost around all of the rest. (they came back as a root stock probably white or red, but not the nice ones they used to be). I also have done garbage bags. I guess I hope that all of my plants too large to dig up or put in the back room (like a 20' magnolia) should be able to fend for itself by now (is ignorant gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09666406543531437194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5531935909912747730.post-79350463574848528762012-01-11T19:29:49.194-08:002012-01-11T19:29:49.194-08:00We're facing the same thing in Wisconsin this ...We're facing the same thing in Wisconsin this winter, believe it or not! Record high of 53 today, and now tomorrow we're expecting 6-8 inches of snow and highs in the 20s! That is hard on plants and people, alike! So many plants around here are ready to pop. I shudder to think of all the plants/blooms we'll lose. I'm sure many of them will be just fine, but this is so unusual for Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5531935909912747730.post-13012194993784682522012-01-11T10:58:17.613-08:002012-01-11T10:58:17.613-08:00Hey Julia, I'm getting a wee bit nervous about...Hey Julia, I'm getting a wee bit nervous about this forecast too! I lost a hydrangea last year and it was sad :( I like your burlap idea. But, a large magnolia? I don't know. I can't remember the blog but there is a guy in the midwest who is a pro on magnolia's and last year he told me that they are for the most part, pretty hardy. Shoot, if I can find his blog, I'll send it Rainy Day Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06139202327960366363noreply@blogger.com
