You didn't sound callous Kitty, I'm having a bad week, sorry to sound so
bitchy. I did plant fast growers but only a couple are evergreen, as I
really don't have space for giants like live oaks, which take a gazillion
years to grow anyway. I turned my small heater on in the greenhouse and
still covered everything with sheets INSIDE as it's supposed to get down
to
27 tonight. I wish I was sitting at Cafe Demonde in New Orleans right now.

Oh, I give you lots of credit, Andrea. I didn't mean for the remark to
come
across callous. When you wrote "no trees", I thought you meant you had
none. Yes, they're small when you plant them and they take years to get
the
height you want, but you have to plant them if they're ever going to get
there. Your complaint must have meant that you've planted but you're
waiting for the height.

Give me a little credit here, I have. But they don't make up for the
giant
pines and live oaks that keep others around here relatively frost
free. 
Those are the ones that provide the most protection for our yards.

 It's due to lack of the trees that the contractors cut
down. No trees.

Plant some.

I just finished putting everything in the greenhouse, plugging in
the
heater, and shoving sheets around the back opening and front door
to
help
insulate. My greenhouse is old and kind of warped in some placed.
LOL!
Looks
stunning in the winter time. We are expecting our first serious
cold
night.
They say 38 degrees but my place tends to frost easily and I've
told
y'all
this before I'm sure. It's due to lack of the trees that the
contractors
cut
down. No trees.

Anyway, my pineapple sage is still blooming and the salvia Greggii
seems
to
prefer this kind of weather and blooms all winter. Everything else
is
probably going to be nice and brown by tomorrow night. That's OK,
it's
time
to start cleaning up for spring. I need something to do while I'm
waiting
for classes to start.

Ignoring the chill this morning, I went out to stake my tomato
plants--I noticed yesterday they were starting to bloom--and
discovered
one of them [a "Better Bush"] has several walnut size green
tomatoes.
The jalapenos are blooming also. In the flower department, all
the
zygo
cactus are either blooming or loaded with buds, as are many of
the
orchids.
