The weather models have changed over the past hour and our area has the center of the target zone on us. Our weather person just posted this...
Today April 1, 2024 many areas of our State have the highest threat of damaging tornadoes since May 2013. I do not post this lightly. *Pay Attention* Know. Your. Plan
I just called to reschedule DD12 appt with counselor. I will probably have to pay for the appt since I'm calling two hours before the appt. Ohs well. With the elevated risk up to highest level I did not want to be caught in the city or traveling the interstate with no place to take cover. Potential tornadoes, 70mph wind and softball hail are not anything I want to be exposed to. I know how to be safe when I am at home.
I'm going to put some 5 gallon buckets over the tender tomato and pepper plants to provide protection from hail. Some of the plants might be taller than a 5 gallon bucket. It will be a tight fit to cover them. It is part of the gamble I choose to make with planting early.
1. Know what you want.
2. Go after it relentlessly.
