Freeze warning tonight in Maryland

The National Weather Service at BWI-Marshall Airport has issued a freeze warning for Friday night in Baltimore County, Northern and Western Maryland.

Temperatures dipped Thursday night to 39 degrees, the lowest we've seen since May 11.

Earlier, the NWS had issued a freeze "watch." The "warning" makes it more likely that temperatures will drop into the low 30s.

Bring in your houseplants and cover tender annuals and herbs. Your cold weather vegetables are actually going to like this! Cold temperatures make them sweeter and more tasty.

About Susan Reimer

Susan Reimer has spent 16 years writing about raising kids - among other topics - in her column for The Baltimore Sun. And every time son Joseph or daughter Jessie passed another milestone - driver's license, college, wedding or a move to a new military duty station - she has planted another garden. Now she will be writing about those gardens - and yours - here on Garden Variety.

Susan isn't an expert gardener, but she wasn't an expert mother, either. Both - the kids and the gardens - seem to be doing well in spite of her.

She lives in Annapolis with her husband, Gary Mihoces, who loves to cut his grass but has noticed that there seems to be less of it every time the kids pass another milestone.
