Have you a heating pad or Xmas lights to run under the blanket? That would make double sure it is all right.

I brought everything tender into the garage yesterday and man it's chilly this morning! Glad it's done.

You need something that is pretty insulating, like a quilt and Christmas lights in there to keep the chill out. Then tie it down to keep out this wind. Once picked I am not sure they will ripen much.

When was it I said I was cutting back on plants, especially if they had to go in the greenhouse? Oh well ...

My little greenhouse is stuffed! Seven bougies, four ferns, cardboard palm, two big succulent hanging baskets, variegated tapioca plant, schefflera, many smaller plants.

I wrapped the succulents in plastic because sometimes the mice nibble on them. One year they ate a paddle plant down to the nubs!

Things are so packed in they don't look too fresh when I take them out next spring, but they recover quickly.

Love your overstuffed greenhouse!

Yes, my blanket will be over my nose!

My comforter was over my nose and sheets were thrown over some plants too, but it didn't get to down to freezing last night as predicted.

Cynthia, how are your little lemons faring? Can you tell yet?

We got down to 26 but only briefly at 2 am. I think my thermometer is not right. It had us down to 23 briefly. Scared the pee out of me. I was up covering my aloes at 1 am. They are fine. My pepper bush out in the garden looks alright to so go figure. salvias, snake broom, E. havanense, buvardia are still blooming, not to mention the blackfoot daisy and 4 nerves. We dodged the worst. It was a very short freeze with the low at 2. It will be close tonight , but I don't think so. I already took out some of my aloes . Some I never took in or covered. They were shoved up by the southern cement thermal masses. They will live there all winter unless we get the big one where more heavier linen comes out of the closet...
