When I first moved to North Florida and hit winter for the first time, I realized I was no longer in the land of balmy beaches and 60-degree overnight lows in December. The first frosts hit us in November, then we had a couple of freezes (including one that dropped into the teens overnight) which made short work of the papaya, mangoes and other tropical plants I had lovingly planted in the yard the previous summer.

I know, “cry me a river,” you Northerners are thinking. “It’s 30 below here!” Sorry about that. No really. I feel terrible. In fact, there’s a tiny violin playing behind me.

This post may not help you all that much if you’re dealing with those kind of extremes, but the concept may still prove valuable with some tweaking.
