They are calling for upper 40's - 50* in most areas here for tonight. Should I bring the plants in that I grafted & T Budded recently, or can they take it? Seems this is just too cold for this time. Ontario, Canada will get snow tonight!!?? Shocked
My goose is cooked if we get frost in next couple weeks. Moving furniture in sunroom so I can refinish floors. Urethane has to cure before I move Furn. back to rooms so, plants outside will have no place to go Surprised

New growth is tender, but should be able to handle those temps without a problem.

Tonight I brought several plants in. Calling for frost in western parts away from Lake Michigan & lows of upper 30's around here!!! This is too cold for this time...it's more like Oct - Nov weather.
Yeah Joan, I see you are a lot colder than me. Is this making up for the heat wave in 100's we had in July? LOL
I'm bundled up...refuse to turn heat on in September! It's 66* in house & falling...brrr
