Out Everybody!!!
I put my avocado plants (what's left of them), dragon fruit plants, and citura tangerine outside in the greenhouse. I don't know if the avocado plants will make it. I left them out on the porch one night when it got down to 18F degrees, and they lost all their leaves and some of the branches were black. I pruned the trees back to where I found evidence of green cambium. I hope they recover. The dragon fruit is growing steadily, but is quite spindly due to low light conditions. Even though I have them by a window, the new branches are thin. I hope the greenhouse will either afford the plant more light and thus thicker branches, or I hope the plant goes dormant so that it is using its resources to grow weak branches. The citura tangerine was just in the way. My other citrus trees are doing well in the greenhouse, so I didn't feel that moving the citura would be a detriment to its growth.
White Sugarloaf Pineapple Blooms
The white pineapples are blooming, and they did so voluntarily. I have been meaning to enclose them in a plastic bag with some apples but never got around to it. They've kind of been neglected, having little to no sunlight and scant amounts of water. I hope I get some big, juicy, sweet pineapples.
