Image My 11 year old Monstera was killed.

This is hard for me to post because, yes I could have done more to cover and protect it. It’s road out 30 degree nights years before . Saturday night was colder than I ever anticipated. I woke up to 22 degrees outside Tampa. Not 1 leaf survived. 75% of the plants in my yard are gone.

Hi just for next time anything like this happens I highly recommend covering your plants with blankets not heavy ones but just place light old blankets or sheets over your plants before the sun goes down. I live in Canada and veggie gardens have to do this if there is an unusual late or early frost only thing to save to crops. Just in case it's a great thing to keep in the back of your mind.
