Re: Still green!
Things are still green here too! My Mandevilla, geraniums, and some other annuals (like Lantana) are still in bloom and my ginger only had some minor frost damage. We did have a frost and my basjoos were toasted, but the basjoos have a new leaf coming up and most of the frost tender plants are still alive and well. My Elephant ears only have a little damage and Mexican Petunias dont have any damage at all. Im about 2 blocks away from the ocean.
Tonight is cold though and at 3:30 Am, I noticed some ice on my back deck which means that we are below freezing and my plants will probably be toast in the morning).
Not bad for almost mid December! Only 2 more months of cold before things start to head toward spring (and about 4 months till we can have all the plants back outside again with no worry of frost!)
