I am in deep doo. My tibouchinas are way too big to cover as are many other things. But those I will miss the most. In the last big freeze they went to the ground. Killed me.

So tell me, you can't spray cloud cover on ferns??

Oh help Oh help. I am on my way out to cover all with sheets and that frost cover now. I moved things around Wednesday. I will bring more stuff in the house. It is the things planted in the ground that I am hysterical about. I have a 30 year old bougie that goes straight up to heaven it is so tall. It even still has a couple of flowers on it. Woe is me.

Not to mention my HUGE 25 year old staghorn that is growing 360 degrees around a post on my porch. I have no clue how to get that one covered well. Too many other things around near it to get close to wrap it.

I wish I could order a crane to come and put a huge plastic square over my lot.
