Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Yes, though we're in a bit of a weird situation with respect to installing them. We have deed restrictions that would prohibit a permanent setup, so no 500+ gallon tanks on a concrete pad would be allowed. A few homeowners have gotten around that by using the 120 gallon tanks on a gravel base for a "temporary" setup. When the tanks are empty they just load a pickup or trailer with them and head to the local RV place for fill-ups. They just have 1-2 appliances though, like a gas fireplace or an outside kitchen in a three-season porch, the whole house isn't plumbed for gas.
Our ten day forecast is looking warmer so we'll be good for a bit. Was looking online at kerosene heaters as backup heat just in case the power goes out and we don't want to deal with the generator running outside, especially if the weather is awful.

Low temp of 19.0 degrees here last night. Supposed to be warming up but might still get down to the high 20s tonight.
Some of the citrus trees don't look very happy. Lots of curled up leaves.

Actually NONE of the citrus trees look happy at all. It was just too cold for too darn long for them. Lots of curled up leaves on all the trees, showing their displeasure. So now the question remaining to be answered is were just the leaves damaged, or are the trees unhappy enough to die?
Probably won't be seeing that answer until they either start producing more leaves, or they don't in the Spring time. Sure would be a major disappointment for us to lose most of our trees we have been growing for years. This would be the rotten icing to the miserable cake that 2022 has been for us.

The citrus trees look really bad. Might have lost three of the four satsuma trees completely. Others are trying to make a comeback, but there are going to be a LOT of dead branches we are going to have to lop off once we are sure there won't be any new growth coming from them.
And something really odd is manifesting itself from a couple of the trees. In particular the youngest pumelo tree we have, that I thought for sure was going to be big enough this year to be producing fruit. Looks like some sort of hair. Citrus tree hair, I guess. I have no idea what this is, but I am guessing it is not a GOOD thing at all.

Oh yeah, some pics of Connie's lemon trees that I took back at the end of January. They aren't looking any better today.

Most of the citrus aren't looking all that great. Some seem to be declining even further even though they started putting out new growth, that subsequently has been dying off too.
I am about ready to take a torch to it all.
