Re: Re: time question

Jim: So with temps. dropping that far in Florida, what do you have to do
to protect your tropical plants/fruits? When my husband and I decided to
move back to Iowa from our year vacation in Florida, the day we left it
was 30 degrees in Miami and the entire fruit industry suffered huge
losses that year...it was sad...

it's warm [60 degrees or so] right now [5:30 am] but slated to drop to low 
50s by noon and low 30s by tonight.
