Pretty, but deadly. I wish it hadn't come at all. The space heater in the conservatory went out and all of my tropicals and semi tropicals froze. Lost the all Christmas cactus that were covered in just opening buds, the pineapple sage that was glorious with red blooms, half the Amaryllis I've been growing for about 10 years that were in various stages of sending up blooms have frozen bulbs, and pretty much all the extra plants that I cycle in and out of the house during the winter so I can have something healthy and green to enjoy are damaged if not outright dead. Even my Meyer lemon, which I've had for six years now, was shocked and wilted. I've pulled the damaged leaves and about 40 buds off, hoping that will encourage it sprout new leaves quickly, but still, no lemons for me this year. :^(

Actually, after pulling up pot after pot of soft, mushy leaves, dumping about half the plants, and bringing the survivors inside, I'm just sick about the whole thing.

I am just glad we are supposed to get thawed out today cuz tomorrow is gonna be cold...and we are about out of wood so the heater will be running like crazy...

Sounds like you have had a rough start to this New Year.

Hopefully, the bulbs won't be as damaged as they first appear.

I am sitting here thinking about your statement that you are about out of wood. So, in the Panhandle, where large trees are scarce, is wood really an economical source of heat?

 

[Teach97]

I have had enough little old ladies with nasty elms that need removing that I do okay....now when I start hauling it from all points of the globe...probably not but it has to do with the esthetics...big word huh?...it is just that wood expense never gets tallied cuz it is part of a trip or something...while the gas and electric bill are something that scares us at the end of every month...
