Freeze update

Things are looking pretty sad right now as it has dropped down into the mid-twenties the last couple of nights. In addition to frost cloth, we are trying spotlights on the two most vulnerable citrus trees, a young tangerine and a Bears lime. Thevetia, tecoma, bougainvillea, and hibiscus leaves have turned brown and crispy, the nasturtiums and hollyhocks are limp, and even the Swiss chard and snow peas are suffering. We won't know the full extent of the damage for several weeks.
