Hola George,

This is the first time that I write in this forum.

I have seen you live in Spain, in Albox. It is in the same region than me. I think it is not very cold in winter.

I live in Cordoba. It is Mediterranean - Z9b although the centre of the city is several degrees higher and here it is frost-free. In any case, the temperatures go down below +5 ºC / 41 ºF very often in winter (until +1 ºC / 34 ºF) and I have to protect the tender plants in similar way as Barna shows. Yesterday night it was very cold and it is not common in November. It went down to +2 ºC / 35,6 ºF. I was not prepared and the plants were not protected. Some plants were slightly damaged. The worst thing is that I had not cut the irrigation yet and several plants with rhizome could be affected (curcumas, heliconias, musas…).

Saludos,
Fernando
