Tropical Fruit Discussion / First hard frost in the Carolinas tomorrow, Nov 14 2021

Basically, right on schedule for my area. The forecast calls for 4 hours below freezing tomorrow morning.
I think I'll lay my tomato cages on their sides for this one, cover with a tarp, and see if I can get the vines to struggle on into the remainder of November.
My avocado trees are small enough that I could take them into the house. But for a 29 degree night, I believe just putting them into my storage shed to shield them from radiational chill will be enough.
I will blog my results on YouTube. Hopefully I don't get to tell the world in just a few days that I already killed my trees.

not a true rain barrel. I've actually lived 8 years in my house without any trash can, since I am alone, and could just take a grocery bag of trash out of the house every 3-5 days which I'd chuck at a big box store or gas station.
