We brought the banana in the house tonight just in case and if the temps really do drop that low all the seedlings in the greenhouse will need to come in as well.

  2. Robin - All the seedling are in the house as well as the banana and avocado. The temps are going to drop Friday night into Saturday. We may get a little snow in our local foot hills above 500 feet and they are still saying we could get snow at sea level. My house sits at 12 feet above sea level so we will see. Snow or no snow it's going to be damn cold!
