I worked all yesterday and covered just about everything with every sheet, blanket and towel I own. I used up all my frost cover, and sure wish I had bought more. Tom came home early to help me, but all thru he kept repeating I HATE PLANTS! LOL

We got the staghorn covered in frost cloth, round and round. Our neighbors must really wonder about us. My brugs in the front look like white lollipops, I covered them in that frost cover and then used garden velcro to hold the cloth tight around the trunks. I have blue sheets and a blue velour blanket over my hibiscus in front. LOL

I got up at 6 am to see what the temp was, 32! So no 24 materialized. Though the next 5 days look grim, with the next 2 nights being 25 degrees.

Did everyone else make it thru OK??
