Good ole winter time in the sunshine state. We are in Citrus Springs and we got to enjoy some of the temps also but Idon't think it got that cold here.
As far as the sprinkles go I understang that the water freezes on the plants and keeps it from going any lower, hopefully. If you plants can't handle 28 to 30f then they might be in trouble. How did they make out thru last winter? We also want to keep some in the ground but will protect them with pine needles and some with a blanket wrap, all according how low they predict. Hope some more posts will give us more and maybe better ideas for our zone. Good luck and I would like to come over sometime, maybe swap some plants.
