Remember in my last post I recommended waiting to clean up your freeze-damaged plants. Well, that was just in case we had another severe cold weather outbreak. Guess what is coming to Mississippi early next week: Arctic blast part 2.
If you cleaned up your damaged plants, let us hope that you did not get into any undamaged wood. If you did, you might get additional damage and have to cut your plants further back. And this is not good for your plants.
One thing you
need to do before the cold air gets here is to check the moisture around your
outdoor plants especially if you have any in containers. The low humidity has dried things out a lot
in spite of how cold it has been.
You can bring
your water hose indoors to limber it up before watering your plants. Give them a good soaking. This will give them added freeze protection.
Now just hang on
for another week of severe cold. Long
range weather projections are showing upper 60s the first week of February.
