The dahlias have finally frozen, as have many of the wildflowers and cosmos which re-seeded themselves. The broccoli and cauliflower are still fine, and so are the rows of carrots, beets, chard, and kale. I think the peas are done.

Big Freeze
We've just entered the first real cold snap of the season. Tonight the forecast is calling for it to be 19 degrees. The only things I'm really worried about are my two new citrus trees. I've wrapped the pots in bubble wrap. Then I set a tomato cage around each one and covered it with plastic. I stapled it in place, except for the top, which is just clipped. I can open it during the day if it's sunny so they don't cook.
