@TheHorse I remember being in Seoul in the winter and people wore masks because of the additional smog from the coal and oil heaters. Even in the little village outside our post, some would wear them because the smoke from the on-dol heaters was so noxious.

@DWDavis Hmm. I have (American) friends who live and teach in Seoul. Are things better now?

Dunno what to say, but it's looking good

@Kasjnak I reckon things unfold more slowly when it's cold out. I'll keep watching it.

Will do. It's still looking strong as of late this afternoon.

@TheHorse I hope you'll post a photo with the flower next, that would be nice

. Of course, it's gonna take a while, but that's no problem

It seems you will, if you cover from the frost.

I'll just keep watering. But I won't cover at night.

I have four rose buds, will they give flowers? Only the one who take care of the weather would know. IF (and only IF) we are going to have some sunny and warm days they will. If the night goes down below 32 F, they die.

@TheHorse We went under 32 F during the night, later I go out to check my roses.

Keep us posted. I think you'll hit 32 F before we do.

If there is some way to cover it at night so it does not get frostbit. It is really trying. It is cold in Florida too. I think Dr. Demento is running around with his freeze ray.

@TheHorse Thanks for the laugh. He might be flying around in a helicopter and disturbing my atmosphere.

3°C is near the freezing point. I'd put it inside over night.

It looks like it's enjoying the smoke-diluted sun right now. Perhaps I will water it.

I'm guessing yes but it might be quite an apology for a sunflower.

I was thinking that too today. Flowers make seeds so there can be baby sunflowers. This one might just say, "Honey, it's cold, can we just snuggle tonight" I'm still hoping for SOME yellow, though.

My squash and cukes got froze out, they were producing just did not get to the size to pick, if I would have known it was gonna freeze I would have covered them.
