Cold front blew in last night. It will be in the low 50s all day with a little rain (clearing before football
). Should be warmer next week.
I usually store the dug plumerias bare, but this winter, I think I'll leave some soil on them and bag them. The ones that are too big to remove from pots, I'm going to leave in the hoop house. I noticed that the ones I left in pots over winter bloomed earlier and looked better in spring. Our winters are short and relatively mild, so I'm not convinced that they need dormancy as much as protection from the cold and dampness. As I walked around the yard yesterday, I found healthy little plumerias growing in random pots that had been pieces that I accidently knocked off during the summer.
