Made it through last night, covering what plants I could and bringing the ones in pots into the house. It only got to 37 so I was ok last night. Tonight they are calling for near freezing again. Most suggestions called for covering the plants. Heat was also mentioned. My plants are in various locations around the house, I have no real garden space. Lots of extension cords and lights were not a viable solution. Neither was a sprinkler. Haven't even figured out what one of those if really for. To water lawns? Right, the day I water my lawn has not happened yet. I grow a pretty natural lawn and don't care about weeds or watering. Besides, we just had the drought restrictions lifted by the Gov. this week. Really enjoyed the posts about the chile picking at Jim's farm. Sounds like great fun.
