January 2014 freeze

On January 7, 2014, the temperature fell to an average of 27 degrees in Houston. I don't have any record of its effect on the lot, but it was insignificant compared to the freeze in January 2017.

On January 23-24, 2014, the temperature dipped to 21 degrees overnight and stayed below freezing during the day. A bit of ice rested on my greens, and the bird baths were frozen. I didn't have any freeze-sensitive plants growing in the garden at the time, so the freeze didn't do an significant damage.

The water in both of my bird baths froze.

Any beaded water resting on my kales and collards froze in place without hurting the plants.
