    I've been, yes, also Sherwood Forest Faire (smaller, more "personal", but with numerous overlapping artist talent) about a half dozen times, maybe more.

    Similar here - looks like some of my ginger was too close to the edge of the protection, and took some leaf damage - and the bananas of course were going to take a hit as they do every year. But better to find out now, with a relatively short double freeze, than to find out when we have a week+...

    Looks like we are right about freezing. Should be able to start taking the visqueen down at lunch, going to have to water before this weekend, and thru next week. No rain in the two week forecast. Weird weather.

    Welcome to the meandering thread, glad to have you here!!! We moved back to Florida from the Austin area. Hope you find it insightful and entertaining - or at least a useful warning of things that can go wrong.

    We broke records - colder than anticipated. Mid 20s. But already in the upswing, tonight will be warmer (barely) than projected yesterday. 32 instead of 30. No plumbing damage. All the plants were covered (but not candled) - will know by Thursday if they took a hit. Ground was warm and...

    Its beautiful. and absolutely NOT for me. My blood has become VERY thin as I age. (So has my heat tolerance - I was out sweating at 75 degrees yesterday).

    27. Maybe 26. Depends on which weatherman we listen to. No precip expected. 0% chance of rain, next three days. If it frosts, it will be due to yesterday's rains - still plenty of moisture in the upper inches of soil.

    Yeah, it is a little "exposed". I'll finish wrapping it at lunch. We are only going sub freezing 10 hours or so today, maybe 4 hours tomorrow - so tarps plus flowing water, we'll be fine. Will have a more permanent solution by December. This shock cold snap caught me sideways.

    Rain Barrel Waterer System

    There is neither power, nor running water, where I set this up. That is why.

    My pressure tank sits in the middle of my field, next to a power drop. Last year, where the water comes up out of the well casing, and the water froze there at the check valve before it entered the pressure tank, and also froze at the outflow from the pressure tank (where my first faucet...

    We'll be above freezing for the next few weeks. I don't like making a warm moist environment any longer than I need to to protect against freezing. It fosters rust, rot, and mildews/molds. So I'll take all the visqueen back down.

    Likewise. Setting up all the plant protection today, wrapping my well pump in concrete block and visqueen so the wellhead doesn't freeze again. Be at it most of the day. Then take it all down Wednesday for another month.
