Merry Christmas to you! Are the orange trees alright? I see 31 degrees in Winterhaven right now.
13 degrees here in South Alabama... My Christmas present weather-wise is it is the last cold morning. Warmer weather coming!
Keep warm y’all!
Wow 13 degrees! Its 48 here and we are all bundled up taking time out to wash and sew all the shorts we normally wear,LOL!!
Florida Citrus industry can't get much worse. What hasn't been destroyed by years of Citrus Greening disease (infection by flying insect Asian Psyllid) was severely damaged this year by Hurricane Ian. Citrus growers can handle a light freeze.
Tomatoes are in a heap of trouble unless they are in greenhouses. They don't do well in temps below 50º. Thus, I am likely losing my mature tomato vines which survived Hurricane Ian as seedlings sheltered in the garage. While we didn't get to freezing, lows have been 34-36º the past few days. Converted the downstairs bathroom to a greenhouse to protect new tomato seedlings and tender herbs. Avocado and peach trees should be fine. Unsure how potatoes will do in the grow bags, wrapped in blankets. Turnips, beets, broccoli and onions are holding steady.
