Go to the store and buy some salt used for water softeners. Sprinkle on land. Problem solved.

I'd like to plant corn, but I think that might piss the neighbors off :^D

freak ice storm/freeze yesterday might have killed my garden and plants. :( Veges were just starting to poke through the dirt. All the buds on the crepe myrtles, and trees were just starting to turn to leaves and are now black.

We had a few weeks at 80 degrees straight before this. Oh well, back outside to see what is left.

If the plants are native species, they'll bounce back. Veggies, I don't know. They might be OK if it was just a brief freeze. Where do you live? You can juse hay as mulch to protect against random early/late season freezes. But if it was a freak incident and really rare, I dunno. Hope for the best, I guess. :)

southeast new mexico. Beautiful area if you like oil wells and sage brush and flat, flat land.

I got out and inspected most of the plants, which today is a beautiful sunny 60F day. Looks more like wind damage than frost damage. 20-30F with 45mph winds all of yesterday day. Typical wind is 10-15mph.
