Rudbeckia 'Indian Summer' - still here after the freeze!
Everything is under row cover because of the freak freezing temperature event! Apparently this is the remnants of Typhoon Nuri, which joined with the polar jet stream to become one of the strongest extratropical cyclones on record in the North Pacific. It slammed Alaska but fortunately missed the most populated areas. But the cold air kept pushing on!
Our average first freeze date is December 2 -- this one was way early! And it is still cold. My greenhouses have now arrived but it is too cold to deal with constructing them so the row cover will stay in place for several more days.
