Ah, Florida …. palm trees and hibiscus, sandy beaches and below-freezing temps. HUH??? Yeppers, tonight we’re expecting the thermometer to plummet down to 18 degrees. In Florida. OK, admittedly this is north-central Florida and the occasional winter day in the 20s isn’t that uncommon (and we have more live oaks and azaleas than palms trees and hibiscus ;D). But still …. 18 is beyond the pale. Sucks. Everyone is running around like a maniac covering up tender plants … including me, the genius who thought a winter container garden was a great idea. Iced tomatoes on a stick, anyone? Well, in a few more months we’ll be bitching to high heaven about the heat and humidity, so until then, time to layer up and liquor up!
