					<description><![CDATA[One of the interesting things about operating the most northern gardening blog is we always know when it&#8217;s getting cold in the lower 48 just from our site&#8217;s analytics! But, when we start getting traffic from places like Florida, something is definitely sideways! Curiously, yesterday, it was actually warmer in Kodiak, Alaska than it was [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Let&#8217;s discuss an important winter preparation for subarctic perennials. If you&#8217;re on the edge of a growing zone or putting in new perennials in extreme cold climates, like we are, this can be the make or break thing that results in survival of your valued perennials! For particularly high value perennials, we opt to put [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Well, we&#8217;re starting to get into the weather patterns where we can predict impending frosts. There&#8217;s a lot of gardeners that think frost is this super mysterious thing, knowable only by trained meteorologists. We like to teach people about it, because truly, observation is the only tool you typically need! All of you are familiar [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[So, yesterday was a bit rough for a lot of us northern gardeners. We received yet another rather sudden, unwelcome and rather &#8220;out of season&#8221; frost! Fortunately, we survived it just fine. The damage to our squash plants was fairly light, only taking out a few leaves across a handful of plants. The frost came [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[A few of you might remember that a mere 20 days ago, we were battling frost. We had to take emergency action to protect our vulnerable squash from getting toasted by this garden nightmare. We demonstrated some severely impacted squash plants, they were pretty rough around the edges, even by our standards. Back then, we [&#8230;]]]></description>

So, let&#8217;s do an accounting and we&#8217;ll lay it out straight to you! In case you didn&#8217;t catch that post, we recently experienced an exceptionally late frost over three mornings, Saturday through Monday. All of [&#8230;]]]></description>
