I let them die then dig them out. If they can't survive the cold temps, I don't want them. Survival of fittest.

. Been in Gilchrist for 6 years now. Some of our plantings over the years (now dead or thriving...) may not be frost resistent, but we loved the look. After losing some early on, I typically don't take a chance now. Forecast for 34 or so I moved 3 potted plants into garage, and covered 4 flowering plants and our braided Bougainvillea that is just flowering again. Just to be safe. Glad I did, noticed frost on our neighbor's roofs. And when going out for the paper earlier, frost on our front grass. Only took 25 minutes to move and cover the plants. Better safe than sorry. . .

Freeze/frost
Been in The Villages almost 11 years. Coming from Minnesota, gardening here has been a learning experience. Now most plants and flowers bought are good to at least 30 degrees. If they freeze, wait until spring, usually after February 14, to cut the bad plants/flowers back and they will come back.

The pot, which you can't even see in that photo, is a heavy clay pot. I would guess the plant and pot weigh 35 pounds all together. It's way too much to move inside. Hopefully it makes it.

I do cover my succulents and my dwarf citrus if the temp is going to 32. I bring my orchids inside if the temp is going below 58. I get so much fruit off my citrus trees, I would be so sad if they had a huge setback due to frost/freeze. 😊

I don't go any further than the front yard
actually it takes a couple of nights of weather in the 20's to damage plants. we lost areas on a few plants about 3 years ago. now we only have plants that are hardy in this temperate zone |

dont forget sprinkler
last year when we got a freeze I forgot about the sprinkler coming on and the water froze on some of the plants and killed them. Turn off the sprinkler until the cold has passed.
