Their predicting in the upper 30's for in the morning out my way, which shouldn't be quite cold enough to do any real damage. It's 47 now outside at 9:30pm.

The forecasted low for the Moose Land was 43F. We faired a few degrees above the forecast. No wind this morning, under canopy radiant heat was in effect.
Wednesday afternoon I hand watered around the base all the plants. A well hydrated plant fairs better against the cold. Thursday afternoon, all the mulch got watered down. Municipal water was 72F, was hoping that the mulch would hold some of the warmth. The roots were probably happy.

David - the forecast here was dead nuts, 46F. Hope your temps are above your forecasted low. There is a bit of air movement, may keep the frost away.

Well i guess having the plants in planters payed off . It took 2 hours but i laid all the plants on the ground like id done before and i think it worked. The worst part was picking them all up again and putting the loose soil back in. they all seemed to do well. A few broke limbs but otherwise they looked fine . It got 32 degrees at 5am I sprayed them with the warm well water . That was the fun part my neigbors probably though i was bonkers..Thanks for your concerns . The things we do for the love of our hobby................

How low will the Tampa Bay area drop to tomorrow morning? The Panhandle is not so happy today.
Just spoke with my Sister in the Panhandle and heard that they have been below freezing all day and are presently getting ice and snow flurries. Schools are closed and most bridges closed because of ice. Wow. Good luck to all of you in the path of this front. We are so lucky to live in South Florida.

It wacked a bunch of seedlings dropped thousands of leaves , made pretty plants look sad . it had got down to 34 or so 2 or 3 times but htis one hit 31 did the spray with the warm well water , most did good some not so good , gotta love Mother nature she loves a good curve ball once in a while thrown at us , spent the last week cleaning up the mess ... . will keep the fingers crossed for FEB .
