If my weather is like anyone else's then you know what's going on here, nice warm weather one week then suddenly frost the next. The frost decided to happen the day the Farmer's Almanac called for the last frost day, and the next few days after. I didn't start putting in my veggies yet so I didn't loose anything there, though I did put in some flowers for butterflies and bees but those appear fine. My herbs are by luck still in pots inside, I simply haven't had time to finish the raised beds they will go into.
As for the fruit trees... The frost hit the day after my apple tree's blossomed. The peaches and crab apple blossoms have already come and gone. I'm not sure what this will mean for the fall fruit harvest (I need all the apples and peaches I can get for more butters.) I also have noticed a lack of bees with the cold snap. Before the temps dropped I saw bees everywhere, now I haven't seen them most of this week.
The weather fooled my out door barn cats too I noticed. Last week we had temperatures in the 80s-90s, and the cats started to shed their winter coats.
Kind of hoping spring decides to come back so I can finish getting my flowers in, and get the rest of my gardens in before it's to late.
