Will snow affect our spring crops? - Staunton News Leader

Believe it or not, at least for the plants growing closer to the ground, the fact that we're getting snow ... it's a good insulator," said Jeff Flint, owner of Village Garden Center in Fishersville. "If it's going to be in the teens it's better that there's snow on the ground covering plants and insulating them than not having the snow and it being in the teens."Some plants may be set back due to the weather jumping around, especially those that have already bloomed. With early warm weather and it suddenly going back to cold, those flowering plants could be set back, Flint said. .oembed-asset-link { border-bottom: 1px solid #e1e1e1; } .oembed-link-anchor { display: block; clear: both; } p.oembed-link-desc { font-size: 100%; color: #666; font-weight: normal; margin: 0 14px 14px 14px; font-family: 'Futura Today Light'; text-align: left; line-height: 120%; }The worst part has been the early warm weather followed by the cold late weather. Like a few years ago, when spring had sprung and the area was hit with a super cold April. That's when plants are in danger, because they have already begun the process of budding out and producing fruit."The biggest problem is the fact that a lot of these plants have bloomed out early," Flint said.Show ThumbnailsShow CaptionsLast SlideNext Slide"That's when you can kill the plant," he said. "The good news is that the plants are mostly in their winter doldrums, they haven't gotten far enough in the season now that killing the plant shouldn't be an issue. The worst thing is when you get extended warm periods and the plants think, 'Great spring's here,' and you get those 60 to 70 degree days in a week. Then on the weekend and the temperatures drop into the teens, that's when you have trunk damage and real problems."One downside is fruit trees may have a reduced harvest this year. On trees like a maple when the buds start to come out and we experience one of those late freezes, it'll freeze those buds — but some of those buds will regenerate, Flint said."Right now I would say it's too early for some things, we're only at the beginning of March so we have a little bit to go," Cooper said. "Things are going to be slowing down here in the next week or so, with the way temperatures are going to be. Plants won't be growing or moving, plants will be sitting idle and dormant with how cold it's supposed to become."What will be damaged will be some of your flowing plants, the flowers will die off and you may get some dieback on the edges where some new growth has occurred, but it won't kill the plant," he added. "Usually plants will come back from that."John Higgs, owner of Barren Ridge Vineyards, said it hasn't been warm enough fo... http://www.newsleader.com/story/news/local/2017/03/14/snow-affect-our-spring-crops/99157252/
