7114 - What Mama Wants ...

You've all heard of the saying, what Mama wants, Mama gets. Well Mama wanted frost protection. The weather guessers (as a friend calls them) predicted frost tonight and tomorrow.  So, we covered a number of the plants. The first picture, Figure 1, shows some of the plants in our "bush" garden. We covered the tree peonies, a rhododendron, and two fig trees. (Mama loves figs.) The flowering plant in the middle is an azalea.

In figure 2,  you can see 5 of our 8 "new" blueberries covered with sheets. To the right is our strawberry bed - covered with a plastic drop cloth which we bought from LOWE'S just for this occasion.

Not everything got covered. In the last picture, Figure 3, is our two oldest (about 22 yrs.) blueberries. They'll have to tuff it out.

I, also, put out my hi-low thermometer to see just how cold it will get.

Its always fun at 7114.
