Hi,

I'm new here - Just posted about it.

We're dealing with the same cold. I have *no idea* what to do about it either, because all I ever thought we'd be dealing with was *burning* plants.

We've lived here for two years and never had a freeze problem - but this year - Ouch! indeed.

We have a lot of Sumac too, ours are still blooming, are yours after the snow? They are really invasive, but still so lovely to look at. They're doing fine after the freeze. Even the little transplanted seedlings I dug up from around the yard are ok.

Everything else that hasn't been here for 20 years is saggy, dying or dead. Even cactus that grew randomly around our yard has had enough this year and are keeling over. It has me really worried. I hope they will come back.

Keep warm :)

I think I got lucky and only had a few cold casualities. It looks like my pencil plants are dead. They are in pots not in the ground though. They are too big to bring inside or I would have. I also have a lot of damage to my octopus agave. He took a bad beating. All and all everything else did ok. I figured if it can't hack it in this crazy weather of Las Vegas then I don't need to have it in my yard!
