Suddenly our cold snap a few weeks ago in the teens doesn't look so bad.
It appears that all the way to Homestead Florida and in the Everglades, it'll get to freezing this week. I can't even imagine what they must be going through down there. That's Zone 10.

I saw that .. the whole northern hemisphere is in a deep freeze.

This cold weather is perfect for digging up Mother Nature's woodland treasures. Part of my property is low lying with damp moist soil all winter which the summer sun bakes into concrete. There are dozens of wax myrtles and evergreen bay leaf trees throughout, which I've discovered are relatively easy to dig up and relocate, especially the shallow rooted wax myrtles. Two years ago I dug up a huge 16 ft multi-trunk wax myrtle (I had to get help to move it) and planted it in my back yard. Even though it was blown over by cold , gusty winds the first night, I got it uprighted (with help again) and secured it with three massive rocks. I was told that such a large tree with such severely severed and mangled roots would never survive, BUT IT DID! Bring on the cold- my shovel and pick ax await me.
