Freeze Warnings

In the last week, San Antonio has been warned of three different nights of temperatures dipping below freezing.  Depending on where you are in the area, you may have dodged the freezing temperatures or just had a quick freeze. 

If you were able to get your plants covered in time, they may still be looking good.  Be sure to uncover them now that temperatures have warmed up again and make sure they are moist. 

If you have some plants that couldn't handle the cold, they may be look brown and wilted.  If it is your seasonal fall plants that have taken the hit, you should go ahead and remove them.  If it is one of your shrubs, just leave it - it may not be dead even though it looks it.  Be sure to cover it for future freezes and wait until spring before removing it - it may bounce back.

With artic temperatures already dipping down to South Texas, we can expect more freezing temperatures this winter.  Take advantage of the warmer temperatures we have now to get your landscape ready for the next freeze.  The following post from two weeks ago should help you be prepared.
