Freezing

Last night the temp was supposed to drop below freezing. I figured my roses would be fine but moved the planters on the deck inside. I covered the kitchen island with plastic bags and also the dining room table and had the Rose Support Team schlep all the planters and pots in. There were only 16 so the boys didn't complain too much.

Here is a picture taken this morning before I had the boys take the planters and pots back out to the deck.



Tonight the boys will have to schlep them all back in again. And then the next night...

The boys enjoy weight lifting so I'm just giving them slightly more awkward weights to lift. I told the guys the sooner they get the garage ready with the plant stand then the sooner the musical planter game will be over. The plant stand was a shooting range all summer in the backyard.

Yes, the first frost (and freeze) has arrived. What a nice collection of roses! Hope your boys will be motivated to get the garage ready. :)
