If I leave my plants out and its below frost temps, no problem, I can leave my plants out during the coldest part of winter, but must bring them into the pump house when frost threatens.
That's interesting,the only time out temps here go below freezing is when there's clear sky's and a frost.

The Guava in photo only just made it through last winter and has put on that growth you can see since,this mornings frost was a -1C 30.2F but yesterdays was a -4.8C 23F which has hit the growth tips a bit and are now bending over,my plan is to put some hoops over soon before the frosts get too heavy and cover with frost cloth
