Snow with rain and sleet is predicted. The night time lows this week will drop below freezing. Am I really still in South Texas?? Everyone in the greenhouse is snug and warm with the heater on. I got the big ficuses and palms bungee'd up and safe in the confines of the garage. All the stuff in the garage is under florescent lights. They have been watered to help insulate from the cold. And whenever it stops raining, I will cover some of the most tender tropicals I have in the ground. It is currently 41º with the wind chill making it feel like 31º. IDK who hates it more, me or the plants?? I love my plants so much. I hate this time of year and the worry it causes me at the chance of losing a single one. I think we need to move, plants and all to Florida.
