We had a hard freeze
early last week, all the way down to 18 degrees, which killed any
chances of my fruit trees producing this year. I was expecting this,
since everything bloomed so early, but it's still disheartening
thing.
That's not all though, a few days later we got a devastating hail storm. Quarter sized hail came down for 20 minutes and covered the ground like a snowfall. All my early transplants and even my oats were turned to mulch. Basically anything above ground will be set back a few weeks at best, or replanted at worst. This is why I call my early transplants 'gamble crops'. It's always a gamble in April, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. This year, I lost.
