And when the frosty crystals disappear without melting: Sublimation (dry-ice is the BEST example) |
All the same, sometimes the sky clears, the temperature drops to the 20's (OK, 26, but come ON! We're trying to have winter just for a day like the big kids) and all that extra moisture hangin' out in our air does some cool things.
My herbs are ALWAYS hardened off. Because I believe in tough love for plants? Not so much. More that I'm lazy, and always thinking of 2 or so things at once. So I get:
Winter Parsley (the leaves are likely toast, but the roots are fine for the spring) Update: they're fine today too! |
Winter Rosemary (OK this year - but as you can see by the plant tag - have to replace occasionally. Maybe I should mulch) |
and Winter Thyme! (Oh that was bad. But the thyme survives incredibly callous treatment and seems not to mind the cold) |

Surprise! This cilantro I've been accidentally breeding on my porch through repotting and neglect is coming out QUITE hardy.
When it grows legs and demands to come in, I'm gonna have an issue.
Heh! What a thought! Even with legs, it might well decide to go search the neigborhood for avocado plants. Well, the two usually get on well, at least in guacamole, so perhaps a little live guacamole action would be brewing! :-)
