Well, here we are, about 1½ weeks before Spring, but our Winter here in central Alabama has been mostly Spring-like. Because of that, there has been more than the usual landscape activity for the season. Great for business! But scientists tell us that we need at least three days of 19° F, or colder, to permanently freeze a large segment of the insect and creepy crawler population. That certainly doesn’t happen much in Alabama, and certainly didn’t happen this year. C’est la vie, n’est-ce pas?
Don’t let the end of the seasonal best planting time slip by!
