It’s snowing. In April. For the first time in history, I am not excited. Why? Because I just bought and planted a crapload of shrubs and perennials a few days ago.
It’s supposed to get down to around 22ËšF the next 3 nights so my question is this: If I put plastic and sheets/blankets over my plants, are they gonna die? One of ya’ll is bound to know the answer. Better yet, does anyone have any better ideas? I put stakes under the plastic so it doesn’t smash the plants and then I put blankets or sheets over the plastic. Good idea? Bad idea? Help, please.

If you know me, you know how ticked I get when the weatherman is wrong (always). Especially when the prediction is for snow.
Growing up in Fayetteville will really spoil the whole snow thing for you (at least it did for me) because the weathermen around here are always predicting these huge amounts of snow that never accumulate to much of anything.
Every year it’s the same old thing. Some “crazy winter storm” is always coming our way and everyone freaks out and gets all pumped just to wake up to about a half inch of dust on the streets. This year is getting off to the same old start. Click on the picture above to marvel at the sight of what “6-10 inches of snow” looks like at my house.
Don’t get me wrong, though. I am thankful for even the smallest amount of snow. I love snow. Alot. I just wish they’d say, “Look ya’ll, we’re not gonna get much, but we will at least be able to wake up to a very pretty, half-inch coat of snow on our town.”
Yes, I am almost 30 years old and still complaining about snow like a 2nd grader. Pathetic, really.
