i know that when i moved to tn. almost 8 yrs ago we had snow in the winter. the last 3 yrs. we have only had a dusting.1/2 inch or less. this year we also had a drought, we were 28 inches low on rain. so something freaky is going on with the weather. all i know is i plant my nanas outside and they tell me i cant water cause of a water ban..my happy little nana, will be outside before the crack of dawn and ill be watering my nana trees. they can kiss my happy banana, if i have to go out and buy 1500 gallons of water just for a week of nana watering. my roses looked horrible, my peonies look bad even my red hot pokers look a little worse for wear.
