We have missed all the bad stuff, just cold (and still dropping) and very windy. We are supposed to get up to 40 this afternoon (its 27 now and was 32 at 7:00 AM) and then back into the mid-20's in the morning. I heard a report that it is snowing in several locations in MS, including Jackson, but no snow here so far.

Other than all the plants I had to leave out, I have only had a couple of varieties of ficus damaged, and they were in a far corner of one of the greenhouses. I guess they were in an area that not only did not get enough heat but also must have had some sort of cold draft there. They may come back but I have my doubts. No problem, I am still getting my air-layered cuttings from my "mother" fiddleleaf. That's the only way I can obtain 18-24" plants of that variety.

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.
