Gardeners, mind your plants Tues. night

The National Weather Service just issued a freeze watch, in effect from late Tuesday night through Wednesday morning. A very cold air mass will combine with lighter winds and clearing Skies to provide strong radiational cooling tuesday night. Lows Wednesday morning will likely range between 27 and 30 degrees. Rural
areas may see sub 30 degree temperatures for as much as 3 hours’ time. Everyone with agricultural or horticultural interests, and those with tender plants (such as newly planted annual, perennials and ornamental trees with new growth) should plan to protect them from the expected freeze.

13th Annual Piedmont FARM TOUR

Stanley Hughes of Pine Knot Farm.

Where can you ride the Eggmobile or the Mulchmobile; buy fresh produce, meat and cheese; learn about sustainable farming; or see cows, fainting goats, ducks, llamas, donkeys, sheep and even UNC mascot Rameses? The answer, of course, is the 13th annual Piedmont Farm Tour, sponsored by the Carolina Farm Stewardship Association, on Saturday, April 19, and Sunday, April 20.
