    Looks like the first of December for us here. We've been down to 6 degrees a few times lately.

    It says we'll be ok until Christmas down here in the south east corner, but I'm not sure I'll trust that :worried:.... :smt009

    Ta Pac :)

    That's just the more tender ones I've built an insulated section in the cactus house for. The rest of them will have to take their chances with the frost...

    I could do with a bed in your cactus house as it's really cold and windy here. :smt090I think the forecast for when we've to get our first frost is wrong as I predict it will be much sooner than the 1st of December.

    We havent frosted yet here in SW WA State. Everything tender I want to save, is indoors now. That includes some experimental peppers, eggplants, and a sweet potato vine.

    Well my prediction was spot on as we've had our first frost already. Thankfully we're back to rain now so it's a little warmer.
