Re: Burr.... it's getting cold out!

That is what I thought last year and woke up to a white cast on
everything as it dipped lower. Looks like I really didn't have to do
that this time..... although I don't know how much cold some of the
plants I brought in could take....

 
Like Marge's brugs.... can they take something in the high 30's - low
40's..... (which BTW, are blooming their fool feads off and are
gorgeous) also brought in a few other tropicals that I plan on
overwintering indoors for the winter.

 
Today I am going to clean up my office at work and make room for
plants......got to measure and see if that banana tree will fit in the
building.... it grew quite a bit and might be too tall since it is in a
pot.... What happens if you just leave the babies that are sprouted up?
Can it be left like that till next summer? One is already about a foot
tall...sigh.

Just checked and we are at 49F now.  10 day forecast shows low dip to 39F 
tomorrow night, then up again. I won't bring any plants in for that; they 
can handle it.  Rain Fri thru Sun.
