Donald - keep your fingers crossed (well, now it's tomorrow, so I guess
it's too late...) that temps don't get any lower than the upper 20s.  In
my experience, a dip from balmy tropics to upper 20s doesn't do too much
damage, at least to things that aren't showing color.  The more
sensitive ones would be damaged, but those are probably worm fodder at
your place by now anyway.  It's those nasties in the low 20s (or teens -
like last year, that really make a mess).

with a dab of white mulch that got everybody slightly hysterical because
of it being the anniversary of the Blizzard of '93.  Still waiting for
the really bad freeze, although it hasn't been balmy like it was back in
January, so it will take a fierce freeze to do much damage.  Crazy
weather.
