Unexpected cold front!
My little balcony garden is doing well. For herbs I have chamomile, fern leaf dill, sweet basil, rosemary, two different mints, oregano, and cilantro. I'm also growing strawberries. The strawberries and herbs are all young plants. There is also a potato plant growing in a really big pot.
For flowers I have paperwhites, daffodils, parade roses, and irises.
I have four bonsai... a weeping pussy willow, green mound juniper, ginco biloba, and another small conifer I can't remember the name right now. It's needles are a bright goldenrod yellow. It's the prettiest conifer I've seen. The young tree is like a yellow ball.
Anyway... we're getting an unexpected cold front. It's going down into the 40's tonight and the 30's tomorrow, Wednesday, and Thursday. Wednesday may go below freezing. I think all the flowers will be okay, and I know the bonsai will be fine.
I'm worried about the herbs and strawberries though. Should I be? What can I do to keep them from freezing?
