October was a warm month and a little dry, unfortunately. Thank goodness for the rain that we got the last week of October. A lot of planting was done in October. So, the key to successful planting is to be sure to keep all newly planted plants watered well. What I mean by well is to do some slow, deep, soaking watering at least a couple of times a week. I am writing this blog for the last couple of days of October and so far, no frost. I looked at my soil thermometer and our soil is reading 63 degrees. For some of us, we have yet to see any 30 degree nights. Many of us still have summer-blooming annuals still in bloom and performing.<\/p>\n
Frost is caused by radiational cooling. This occurs on a calm and clear night when heat from the earth radiates upward into a cloudless sky. As a result, there is a cooling of the soil and plant surfaces as well as a layer of air near the ground. If the temperature drops below 32F, a frost occurs. On a windy night, there is a mixing of the warm upper air with the cool lower air and frost is less likely.<\/p>\n
A nice, sunny day in November is an excellent time to take a walk around your gardens. Take time to reflect on the successes and any failures with your gardens this year. Make notes for new things to try and things to fix next spring.<\/p>\n
