Hi everyone, Last evening, right before the sun went down, I walked around the property to see how badly things were affected by the freezing temperatures we have had. Actually, teh only things hurt really bad were the tomato, pepper and basil plants. The broccoli and cabbages still look good, maybe just the slightest color change on some leaves, but I think they will be fine.
The roses love the cooler weather, I guess.
This bougainvillea is blooming profusely and the color looks great against the white of the house!

Along the property line, there is a maze of various tropical plants, vines and palms. You can see the sun making reddish looking trunks.
The Florida Flame Vine (originating in Mexico) is now blooming and soon, if the cold keeps away, it will be a mass of orange trumpet blooms!
I love the way these very old, big Live Oaks look with the sun reflecting red on them! It is right before the sun sets.
Sometimes a walk about the place is just what I need to put me in a great mood! Awesome nature!

I am glad the freeze did not do too much damage Egretta. The Flame Vine is so pretty and it is wonderful to see roses in bloom. Have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteThe colour of the setting sun on those tree-trunks is lovely. We have a group of Scots Pine trees right opposite our house, which catch the evening sun in a very similar way.
ReplyDeleteBroccoli and Cabbage will put up with some very low temperatures - last year mine survived minus 17C.
You have such a lovely home.
ReplyDeleteWe have hear about the cold temps in your area, but your garden seems to have survived. Nice to see color in your garden. Here we are in the depths of another cold, dry, brown winter.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty photos of house and garden, and your veggies look really good.
