With winter returning this week...

Any advice on when to plant baby tomato plants? I thought about making a grow room in the basement since I haven't been very successful at growing them outside...
Hope you don't loose your berries

I haven't noticed many buds on the apple trees yet, so maybe they'll be OK....Crabapples and pears are a different story. I hope the muscadine are OK.

I know, and we planted grapes last weekend. Dad even built a 7 ft tall arbor for them to spread on.

I noticed the pin oaks in the yard have bloomed. Hope the white oaks don't take a hit (of course that's a two year cycle but still).

White oak acorns mature in one growing season. Red oak acorns mature in two growing seasons.

Talked to my mom. Her and dad forgot more about gardening and orchards than I know.
She says trees will be OK. We have not had hard freezes in Carrollton.
My pears, crabapples, blueberries, almonds and plums are blooming or have bloomed.
Peaches, apples, paw-paws and aronia are budding, but not blooming yet.

Correct. Ignore me.

The trees will certainly survive but the fruit will be gone (on many of) mine. Just went and covered a miniature peach. Not sure it'll help with tomorrow's night forecasted lows. The regular peach is already bloomed out so it's done. One of the crabappbles isn't open all the way so I'll hope against hope on that one. Also tried to cover a very young pomegranate that has already taken a freeze hit on it's early growth. It happened year before last and killed it to the ground. I might be pushing a rope with where it's planted. But I'll give it the good fight. Can't do anything for the blueberries.

Pretty sure the bermuda grass is going to be hosed as well. It's already come out of dormancy and back a couple of times I believe. When I do scalp, it's going to suck.

One of the places I hunt is all pines and all the acorns on the property next door killed the hunting where I was this year. No acorns is a good thing for me!
