I am a city gardner in zone 5/6. Dramatic temp swings in this area with cold winters, and hot summers. Love to grow my own fruit and veggies!

Snow has turned to freezing rain, everything covered by a layer of ice. #bluefescue #nightgarden #frozen

Way below normal temps here last week. This week it's at least "average" cold

The rain is strange here. Usually this is a blizzard and we get a foot or more of snow! Temps are in the 40's now @gjones @lesliecole49

Katy and Glyn, yes I'm in TN, normally, winter temps may get into the 20s (f) but this winter has been exceptionally cold! They count the 'snows' here; "they're calling for 3 snows this winter" meaning it might snow 3 times. I laugh and tell them, when I lived in Michigan, we'd get 1 snow, from November to May! I don't care for the cold, but I'll deal with it if I don't have to deal with snow! @gjones @saco

Here in New England we get it all!! 2 weeks ago we had a 60° temp swing, from -20°F to 40°F in about thirty-six hours!! The garden is always survival of the fittest @lesliecole49 @gjones

@saco @gjones Katy and Glyn, I know I've lost several because I'm sure I just didn't properly 'winter' care for them. The ones I lost were in pots.The second hard cold spell is what did them in. It's just not our 'normal' temps this year. Next year I'll have more of them in the ground where I can mulch them properly... continued...

I try to plant to my zone, but I'm finding alot of clay that I'm going to have to amend. So, my goal this year is to borrow a rototiller and let it beat me up, dig and add whatever I need to add, (I have a friend with horses) 😊 and create some garden beds. Of which I really only have two small ones right now.
