This. I still have my potted orange, lemon, and key lime trees outside in Virginia. It is very rare for it to do much more than light frost until late October here and that is what they are calling for tonight. I'll slide them in the garage overnight and move them back out tomorrow so they can get a few more weeks outdoors before I have to move them in the garage for the winter.

I shut off my system around this time of the year, you don't really need to run the sprinkler system in the fall. just drain as much as the water (I added a filter to filter out debris or the valves won't shut completely and leak.)out now until you can blow all the water out before the winter.
