I have given up trying to protect the fragile stuff. The coverings are not going to protect the plants from the prolonged hard freezes we have been experiencing. I will replace what doesn't make it with more cold hardy varieties of southern climate vegitation.

We had not visited a nursery yet, that is a good idea, as you can ask questions. We have been paying close attention to plants as we drive around TV looking for hardy ones that we like. I suspect even the plants that were covered will not
survive this cold (less than 27 for hours). By not survive, I mean they will look pretty shabby until their spring trim and
hopefully new growth comes back. When the covers come off later in the week we will see.....
It is not part of my retire plan to setup lights for warmth and cover plants whenever there is the threat of cold.
