Bring tender container plants under shelter and cover them during hard freezes. Be sure any covering extends to the ground. Remember to remove the covering when the weather warms.

We have had our first hard freeze, in fact we broke low temperature records dating back to 1907.
Herbaceous plants, like gingers, can be cut back a few days after a killing freeze. The plants will regrow from the roots if they have not been damaged.

Last month, Louisiana experienced the coldest winter temperatures we have seen in many years.
Adding freezes to your credit reports is an appropriate response to the massive Equifax database breach that exposed the private information of 143 million Americans.
