OK, I went away for a whole week (gosh!) and my friend called to say we had a nasty frost and all the plants are dead and brown. Poor waist_high fig cutting now 3 years old may be a goner, as it almost died of thirst when the automatic watering system went off last summer. Then it started leafing out and was hurt by a December frost. Then it started leafing out again and now this. I haven't even gone over to look.
Here, 6 miles away, the Camelias are opening up and looking gorgeous again and we have hundreds if ripe lemons.
