The Historic Snow Storm

General gardening

This was quite an adventure with exitement, suspense, and scrambling to try and protect my plants! The historic snowstorm of 2025 was in the category of crazy weather for us.

The survival of the fittest kumquat tree

General gardening
This is a update on the winter vegetables. The orange and kumquat trees are on their own. I can't tell which is which right now. The 20 degree weather will help me find out. The kumquats are more likely to survive the winter than the orange trees. Eventually, I will buy satsuma trees.
