The weather station sensor said it got down to 28.4 degrees in front of the garage Saturday night. It was 31.8 degrees at that sensor when I went to bed at 4:30 am that night. The other temp sensors on the front porch of the house are saying it got down to 33.3 degrees.
Last night (Sunday) it got down to 34.0 degrees. Looks like things will be warming up, so we are planning on folding up the tarps and putting them back into the shed before possible rain comes in tonight. Hopefully messing with the tarps for the last time this season.
Connie and I did a walk around yesterday to look over the fruit trees. Not much damage. Just looks like a finger of cold air got a few areas of new growth on a few of the trees, but not bad at all. Connie's pumelo tree has some new flower buds coming out so she is all excited about that. She only got one fruit this past year, so she is hoping for a bumper crop this year. It takes her about a week to eat one of them, they are SOOO huge.
Looks like rain off and on over the next week or so. Temps supposed to be getting into the mid 70s. Combining warm temperatures with a few rain showers here and there (plus the 120 lbs of fertilizer we put around them), should be getting the Spring air filled with the smell of citrus blooms shortly.
