Whats gonna happen when it's 20 degrees 100% humidity with a chill factor of 8 degrees? I thinking of mulch, garage and pot over the plant.


Since when did chill factors effect plants. They absorb heat during the day and release it at night. They don't generate heat, so wind chill is not a factor. RockM is dead on with his statements on humidity. Being from the south you should recognize that. When the temps dip to freezing or below the sprinklers come out and the citrus groves get watered or misted. Initially keeping the temps up and perchance freezing occurs. The action of freezing actually produces heat to protect. <not that I'm suggesting people water there trees during a freeze>.

Don't flay yourself mentally when you make a mistake or when something bad happens. Just pick yourself up from the god-awful mess you’ve made, say to yourself "I must make a note not to do that again." and go on to the next step, of the hundred or so that remain.
