I get the last laugh?
 
My neighbors (and family) thought I was crazy putting all of my fruit trees and bushes in containers. There is a freeze warning for tonight and my neighbor mentioned how my peach tree (with baby peaches already) and cherry bushes, strawberry plants and apple trees and blueberry bushes, all with blooms, would be damaged. Ha! They are in my garage/basement. It's a tight fit and I feel like my back is broken :twisted: but guess whose plants will survive this? My poor neighbor, their plum tree has flower buds, I wonder if it will be damaged tonight? I feel better knowing mine are safe and snug inside. My big pear tree in planted in the ground, and I recently planted Elderberry bushes in the ground, but those have buckets over them and the pear tree has garbage bags covering it. It's all I can do... that and pray they don't get damaged.

I love container growing :P

We had freeze warnings here for the past 2 nights but luckily the temperature stayed above freezing, so hopefully it will do the same for you!

Warm weather all winter and now the jet stream has moved south, for how long?

Friday morning was SUPPOSED to be the bad one for our area, frost wise. But this morning there was more frost on the ground and slower to warm up than yesterday.

The "weather guessers" strike again LOL.

Yes, I saw some frost this morning too - thankfully not in my yard.

I love container gardening too-I've been doing it for more than 30 years.
