Just seems strange to me that the overnight lows here in north Florida can often be the same, and even lower, than areas much further north. Just doesn't seem right to me.

35.1 degrees the overnight low last night (Saturday).

Guess we need to be preparing to cover some of Connie's more sensitive plants when the temps drop below freezing. We use bamboo as stakes, put them in the ground extending above the topmost levels of the plants so the tarps don't lay on the branches and leaves. Sort of creating a tent. We did that for a few of the younger citrus trees, but that have since gotten too big for that, so they will be on their own from now on. But Connie's pineapple plants are doing REAL well, so we want to keep them protected over those cold spells. They have gotten MUCH larger than we thought they would, however. One actually produced a fruit this year, but some varmint got it before Connie could harvest it. Now you know, nothing around here has EVER had a pineapple to eat before, but that didn't stop them from eating it.

I use an auger bit in one of my drills to create a 2" diameter hole about 2 ft. deep, which works well. Just have to select the appropriate diameter sized bamboo to cut down and cut to length. They usually last a few years before the bottom rots off.

Still getting chilly overnight. Low of 37.0 degrees last night (Sunday night). Supposed to start warming back up a bit, however.

Well, what was forecast as being a low of 45 degrees last night turned out to actually be 38.3 degrees.

Both weather.com and weather.gov are calling for a low of 36 degrees tonight. It is already 35.8 from my weather station. We have the pineapple plants covered, so hopefully the temp won't drop down low enough to damage the citrus fruits on the trees.

Had a low of 28.6 degrees last night.

Only plant damage I have seen is on some very small crepe myrtles on the east side of the house that grew from seed dropped by a larger tree nearby. But sometimes it takes a day or two for damaged leaves to become evident.

So, hoping none of the citrus fruits got damaged.

Looks like a couple of nights of high 30s in the forecast for the next week or so, so hopefully the national weather service won't be as off the beam as they were for last night's forecast.
