Unfortunately....looking like old man winter / mother nature has 1 last gasp....morning Weds am 3/18/26....probable frost ...light freeze for half of Citrus county...temps will range from 29 -37 depending on your location...ugh....weather computer models are currently off by 5-7 degrees depending on your location.....wouldn't worry about the hardy stuff....if it gets nipped...it gets nipped....the sensitive stuff....definitely protect......

Freeze coming for Tues am 2/25...mid to upper 20's for colder spots of Citrus county...and frost/light freeze again for weds morning 2/26....upper 20's /low 30's for colder spots....make sure and cover plants already burnt as well...as some are still alive....but warmth has softened them up....

unfortunately as predicted predicted earlier...it's NOT spring yet...frosty, chilly mornings possible next mon-wed...23-25th 2026....for parts of Citrus county....if your going to cover or protect plants/ seedlings...then by all means go ahead....but if not...WAIT......again...no pruning or fertilizing til after march 15th....

Spring is not here yet....still a possibility of frosty tomorrow morning mon am 2/9/26 for the colder parts of Citrus county ....most will be safe.....However....long term models....maybe something late in the month or 1st part of march....all that said....NO pruning or fertilizing yet or planting soft stuff unless you're going to protect....you can go ahead and plant cold hardy stuff....also big TIP....when doing purchasing of things Like Azaleas or Viburnums...check the lower trunk for split bark...if it is...it's dead and doesn't know it yet it....will die when the heat hits...Finally...we're in a drought...gonna have to hand water....as water restrictions are gonna get worse as far as sprinklers.....but they aren't good enough for plant establishment anyways....oh....and definitely hit up the box stores for that one year guarantee since they weren't truthful about the cold hardiness of many plants...
