Everybody keeps talking about the weather and nobody's doing anything about it!
It's been 80-ish several days in a row here, and the low tonight is predicted to be 64. That's like a summer night where I grew up in Kansas. But we had what's called a "bad winter". Had to cover the tropical plants in our yard several times. If you don't live in a climate like this (zone 8), you may be surprised to know that putting a thin old bed sheet over a tender plant will help a lot to keep the frost off it when the temperatures go only a little below freezing for a few hours. I was skeptical about that when we first moved here, but it definitely helps. We'll be getting some more 40-ish nights before winter is over, but another freeze is officially unlikely after Valentine's Day.
