I sure can understand you not wanting to lose valuable plants. That prolonged freeze was back in my Mississippi days (65 years there), and that occured 10-12 years ago. I learned my lesson. That garage was still used to store some of my 100 or so plumeria, but I built a little 6' x 8' greenhouse on one side of the garage and could easily warm that small area. The garage was oversize, and even with the "greenhouse", we could still put two cars in there. That 100 plumeria grew to about 500 when we moved onto a 2.5 acre property in Vero Beach six years ago. And that was just my plumeria. I had well over 1000 tropicals before we moved to this tiny piece of property 9 months ago. Now I'm back down to 50 plumeria. This is all the backyard I have now. I've utilized about all of the yard that I can.

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.
