Texas Spring/Summer Thread

The NWS had been predicting a low of 39 for Denton, but then late yesterday they changed it to 42. And now they say it's actually 37.:laughing: And on my patio, it shows to be 35. So at least my wife's potted plants should be OK.

Woo The temp by the house is 42˚ but away from the pavers by the garden it's 38˚ -close-. I bet a lot of people north of here got a tinge of frost.

As I was going out to feed livestock this morning, I thought there was frost on the ground. Kept saying to myself, it wasn't supposed to get THAT cold. My tomatoes were unprotected too. All I can do is cross fingers.

My tomato plants are still at the supplier I may have to pick through the plants because you know they didn't cover anything much.

Last night on channel 8, Pete Delcus said he originally was calling for a freeze in some areas, but changed it to 40* because the computer models where saying warmer.

I went out Turkey hunting this morning, dont know why on only 15 acres, but I enjoy going. If it wwasnt crazy $$ to lease, I'd do that, sure wish I had land again.

Never trust computer models or fashion models.

I wonder why they get a degree in meteorology, if they are just going to let the computer give them the forecast. Once was a time, weathermen were pretty accurate, at least in the 24-48 hour prediction. Anyone remember Harold Taft? Now, I think I could look at a map and come as close as the computers. After the last couple of weeks of predictions and them missing it, I'll bet I try to predict it myself, next Spring.

Of course, around here, one can predict the summer weather easily. "Sunny and Hot".

I just strolled down to my garden to check my tomato plants. They look remarkably good.:thumbsup: I couldn't get into the garden to do a detailed inspection because it's too muddy, but I didn't see anything that looked droopy. I'm cautiously optimistic.

 

[Western]

Just got back from Decatur Lowes, veggies looked fine! No droopy leaves, all looked good. Picked up a couple of Semi-dwarf peach trees, YEAH!! The Decatur Lowes is loaded with plants now. I wanted to get down to the Nursery by Stephenville, but that "aint" happening either:laughing:

I was supposed to meet a lady in Denton to get some rr ties, but when I called, she said she wouldn't be home:confused3:, come at 4:30..Shoot I "got's" things to do. She does have a great price ($7) about half what Lowes wants, but I didn't want to wait around and kill 4 hrs in Decatur.


Farmgirl, I must have more degrees than most, not sure, but certain I have more "3rd degrees":laughing: Got one every time I made my parents mad!!

My Father-in-law use to say "Why don't they give the weatherman an office with windows, he'll do a better job.

And yes, I do remember and miss Harold Taft. He was the best and I grew up with him on Channel 5.

Yeah, I remember when he was training a kid named David Finfrock.:laughing:
