had a frost at above freezing, I’m curious to see and share how my more tender tropicals withstood it, this was a tragic mistake of mine not protecting them to be safe, but it can be an educational experience for us all, I’ll post updates to how they’re doing. Also please share results with what you’ve experienced with me, I’m anxious as what to expect.

Sorry to hear but also thank you for sharing. This will be educational indeed. I feel that we always focus on temperatures but frost looks like a bigger and sneakier evil. I am thinking of investing on a meteo station that warns you when frost is expected.
