There was ice in the fountain this morning but I could easily break it with my fingers. I'm guessing another 30 degree night just like the one last week. Most of my bedding plants were already dead from from the last one so not much additional damage. My Christmas lights and blankets should have been enough to pull the important plants through this minor freeze. There was lots of frost though so I expect at least some additional damage.
My Ctsm orchids are losing their leaves and going dormant right on schedule. My plan is to move them over by the phals, cut back on the watering and repot at first sign of growth in the spring. Any additional advise is welcome.
The earths warming and cooling is caused by variances in the sun. It has been happening since the beginning of time and will continue no matter what. The additional rhetoric gives politicians an excuse to impose a tax on it. That's all I'll say on the matter.
