Waiting on a client call this morning so I'm taking care of a few odds and ends, including the post-of-the-day.
It's really warm out today, it's already 50 and it's supposed to get up over 60. The low tonight is going to be 48, which is more like late spring than February. I don't know what to make of the weather, the first few years here the winters were pretty mild, but not like this!
I was reading about pomegranates online yesterday, and given that they are hardy to 14F, I may well try growing some in a sheltered spot. I looked up the local plant map, and it was really odd--supposedly my house is in the 5B zone, but my neighbor a half mile down the street is in the 6A zone, so I am not sure what's up with that. (5B is a low of -10 to -15 and 6A is a low of -10.) The lowest I've ever seen it here is about 6 degrees, but I haven't been here long enough to say it never gets colder.
Perhaps I can find a slightly more hardy variant, although, as I said, there's a couple of very sheltered areas where the plants would probably be just fine.
I swear, you could turn me loose with 100k at a nursery and not only would I spend every penny, I'd be whining that it wasn't enough money...
