In the south part of Jacksonville, I registered 21 last night, 23 night before and 25 night before. This was out in the open, the coldest part of the yard.

Have a big Oak that creates a micro climate for some plants.

On the exposed plants, all the leaves are fried but leaf stems and P-stems are still green. I don't understand it, seems there should be more damage! And still a week more of freezes! I'm sure it'll get worse. Wonder what the cold part of the season will bring!?

Everything in a pot is covered with Frost cloth and plastic, and a heater underneath, and is doing well.

With the expected electric bill, I'm sure it would have been cheeper to let everything freeze and buy new in spring!
