Storm's a comin'...

Gentlemen, (and Ladies)

Yet again mother nature can't make up her mind. Later this week we've got another cold front moving through. Might get as low at 24 degrees.

If you're a nut like me, you've got a lot of stuff in pots out on your deck already. When would you start feeling worried about leaving a R. rivularis (almost trunking) out in the cold? What about Christmas Palm seedlings? Veitchia?

For that matter, what about a Sea Grape? Pineapple? Sago?

All the temp data I can find seems to have too wide a margin of error for my comfort.

I would move it all back in again. It sucks, but they will get damaged at 24 degrees because they are not hardened off to those cold temps. This weather is wacked...

I agree, I've been waiting for 4 weeks to try and plant my garden, but I don't think even tomatoes and whatnot would handle what we've had roll through this month.

Hopefully the shear volume of leafy green matter clogging up my breakfast nook will prevent the cats from destroying all of any one plant...
