Baby it's cold out there!

Snowflakes lazily drifting down...is it May 3rd already? No, the two are not or should I say should not be related but it is a reality in Central Wisconsin on Northward for early May. Plants purchased at a greenhouse are tender and do not tolerate the strong winds and freezing temperatures that often accompany this calendar month. Should you find yourself the caretaker of some luscious young plants, take care to acclimate them to challenging weather conditions by gradually increasing their exposure to full sun, strong breezes, or cold temps. Protect from freezing unles the plants are shrubbery or cold hardened perennials Keep smiling and warmer days will soon be upon us.
