![]() Here in central Florida we might get a frost this weekend, going to get crowded in the house again. So far this winter all we lost were some leaves on the in ground bananas. The other outsiders were covered and will get the same again. With red tomatoes one two plants they will for sure get protection, and so will the pepper plants. Good luck and stay healthy.

![]() It was 43F at 6AM in Port St Lucie. This is +5 deg from forcast. And no frost on the cars.
This was better than last cold snap. Walk around showed no damage yet even on the inground basil. |

![]() In my specific 8b micro-locality I get freezes even when it is predicted to stay several degrees above freezing; the predicted freezes are usually colder than stated. I got a freeze two nights ago and it froze a little last night also. I have kept my single banana plant covered and will tomorrow night and then I will uncover and see if the leaf that extends above the mulch is still alive. This weather should be the end of the freezes. The florida yellow flies will soon be out and already most of my plum, pear, and early apple trees have or are blooming.
I took in a potted bare rook pear that has a prospect pear graft that is starting to bud out. The prospect is a tree that has be recently been discovered in Carrolton, Mississippi Nafex Southern Pear Interest Group . It may be unique or it could be an original turnbull pear, but in any case I wish to add it to my collection of pears. Last edited by barnetmill : 03-03-2013 at 11:59 AM. |
