Default First freeze of the winter

And I've got my giant Namwah? in the big pot wrapped in xmas lights and blankets, several planted bananas wrapped in covers, I chopped down two that were looking weak and weedy to begin with and covered the stumps. Then there's the small jungle of potted bananas and pineapple inside the house.

Now to worry until morning.

I think it's supposed to only last about 3 hours. It's already 38f though.

I really wonder what the 'secret grove' of bananas will be like after this freeze. Those are orinocos, while mine are cavadish, mahoi, dwarf red, etc.

Some of mine got frozen. Some that were covered up got frost bitten a little, but are okay. I haven't checked the grove yet. It's almost an hour away from me.
