The next two nights the lows are supposed to be around 45 degrees. Are there any precautions I should take for my non-hardy species during this time? After that the lows will be back in the upper 50s. Thanks for any suggestions. :coldbanana:

dont worry too much, the most non hardy species have no problems with that!
i bring the non hardy ones inside, like zebrina, when it will freeze.

Yeah looks like temps are going to rebound for most of us in the South early next week - back to the 80's or low 70's. I'm going to wait and dig things up only when the High is getting close to 60 and the low's approaching 45 on a regular basis. I'm still hoping for a real late first frost this year. It was Nov 7th here last year at 27F. Maybe this year we'll get lucky. Normally it'll freeze and then bounce right back up to 70F again. Argh

haha! i wish it bounced here right back up to 70 F!
next week the temperature will rise to 17 degrees, i think thats 65 F ? normally its now 14-15 degrees so im happy it will warm up!
last year we had the end of november the first frost and in 2007 around 20 december! i hope it will get this year also that late:)
