I guess living on a sea island surrounded by 55 degree water and warm ground water spoiled me. About 5 years ago it was predicted to get down to freezing the next morning and we were leaving for Ocala that day so I hysterically covered all my trops like begonias and ti's before we left. Next morning in Ocala we woke up to frost and dead plant material all around the hotel. When we checked the weather in SC it was 45. I had to have a neighbor uncover the plants before they cooked. Go figure.
