We've had quite a pleasant stretch the past few weeks. 48 has been the absolute minimum so far this winter. This is so much better than 2009-2010

Brutal! How do your Passiflora and bananas look? Did they manage to avoid the frost?

I'm too lazy to try to grow bananas in a place like Hemet. :ha:

Re: Current weather
 

No problem for any of my Passiflora. Outdoor bananas are yellow but no frost damage. Unheated greenhouse bananas are growing

The price on a box of lettuce went from $12 to $40. The lettuce growers down here are going to be making $40,000/acre. That will make a difference in the local economy.

Re: Current weather
 

Those are pretty nice picts there. Is that snow atop those mountains and does it stay there year round?

Re: Current weather
 

Thanks. Yes it is snow and it stays there few weeks a year. What U see on the pic is above 1200m (4000 ft).

Re: Current weather
 

80 F here today. Dry. We've had some brush fires already. It MAY rain today/tomorrow though.

My bananas seem to have made it through the one cold night(35F), and I see some new leaves pushing up through the center on a couple.

In area growing farms, they're harvesting cabbages by the truckload, and I saw a load of potatoes as well. Planting most of the fields but I haven't been able to tell what they're planting yet, but I'm certain some are more cabbages. They finally plowed under the old corn fields that were left too.

In Loznica +6 degress celsius.....

Re: Current weather
 

Three days ago we set an all-time (~150 years) high of 77F, which was a full 10 degrees warmer than the previous record high. The next night it snowed, and the low was all the way down to just 1F last night.

I have an unheated semi-pit greenhouse that I just built this fall. The lettuce/spinach/beets were fine, but the week-old tomato plants were wiped out. I planted a 4' Dwarf Orinoco in there last month to see how it would do, and its leaves fried when the outdoor night temps dropped into the teens. I cut the top off about a week ago and the p-stem was fine about 5" down from the top (I unfortunately screwed up and lopped off an additional 8" that I didn't need to). It had pushed a new leaf up a couple of inches going into last night, but rather than getting fully fried, it looks like only the top 1" of it has cold damage.
