Frozen Patio
I hope, by now, that the strange cold-snap is finally over.
We lost so many of our favorite plants!
This is what's left of a very large Jade plant. It used to be about four feet across and three feet high. So lush and oriental looking. Gone for good, as you can see.
I bought a pony-pack of pansies to console me and remind me that Spring in California can't be far off.
After the third night of below freezing weather, I brought every single plant inside off the patio.
We (used to) have about 10 hanging spider plants. No more.
I was able to save most, clipping and clearing out frozen/slimy leaves.
This one didn't make it.
The dining room started to reek after two weeks.
I filled several grocery sacks with debris.
Our naked patio.
We'll start re-potting and planting soon.

Can't say I feel your pain, it has been -20C here for the last few weeks. The car sounds funny when it starts, we have to use winter gas(with anti-freeze in it) and plug it in at night! Spider plants dont even grow outside in the summer....sorry I shouldn't rub it in, but I would love to have your weather so I could take the kids out for a walk;)It is SOOOO cold here!!!!!

Aww... your poor plants! It is actually sad losing plants, because they have been with you for so long and you have taken care of them!
A clean slate! What fun! Plant some geraniums for me,k?
It looks like a jungle in there!!
