Ready to plant the spring garden? Mother Nature says ‘hang on’!
Right on cue as we get ready to welcome in spring officially next week, many of us start to think about when the right time is to get that spring garden plant started. However, if you’ve lived in Southeast Texas long enough, you know that March can be a particularly tricky month for finding a window of warm, dry days to get things in the ground.
Here’s a funny story: Some time ago, I had made a comment on the news one night that we were seeing a nice weekend coming up and it would be a good weekend to get to planting the garden. Unfortunately, we had a quick cold snap soon after that with temperatures below-freezing. I got a few emails from some gardeners that were not happy. Such is the way of weather sometimes.
Take Wednesday for example: While some folks were seeing some sunshine, residents around Lake Jackson saw thunderstorms with hail falling! Must be the wild weather of springtime!More importantly, March usually means gambling with Mother Nature about WHEN the last freeze of the season is. On average, our last freeze generally happens around Feb. 20.
