While you are organizing your fall or Halloween decorations and deciding where to place them, you might want to consider adding some plants to your porch.
Usually, around mid-October, the Ohio Valley receives its first freeze watch or warning.
Frozen watches and warnings have one clear purpose, though they can be perplexing. Cold air is on its way.
As we travel through the middle of October, the first night we see temperatures below 36°F will call for a freeze watch. Residents should bring in any potted plants and gather their last harvests before temperatures reach the freeze warning levels.
When nearing our first frost of the season, always remember to follow up with the elderly to make sure heating is effectively running for the cold evenings ahead.
