As you have heard us Floridians complain about last week. It got cold here. In fact, we had freezing temperatures. Now, while most of the United States has been suffering through this type of weather for months, we have not.
Most Floridians are tender, hot house flowers who cannot stand the cold. We live here for a reason, we do not want the cold, we do not want snow or freezing temperatures. We are much like my lovely Plumeria trees. Delicate.
So, how do we prepare when it gets cold? We pull out our sweatshirts, sweaters, whatever long sleeved items we have kept from our days up North and dress in layers.
But, how do we protect those innocent, delicate plants that cannot stand the cold? How do we keep them warm on these awful, freezing nights? Freezing nights with wind, that won't allow sheets to stay in place?
We get creative...
See, we weren't kidding about it being cold. Look, ice on my reserve water!
