Randy, it's one of my least favorite times of the year. Looking at the amazing growth we always get during the summer, it's sad to know that just one night of cold weather can take it all away. Our low has been 36*F so far with no frost at my place, but I know the plants can't hold on too much longer. I am preparing to dig my nonhardy bananas and subtropicals soon and will continue to take in the last breaths of summer with my hardy types until old man winter take them away.
