Thanks to a warning from a friend last night, I was able to put flannel sheets over the cover I was using on my babies. And it's a good thing I did! It got down to 15*F (-9*C).
This was about 8AM. It was up to 18*F at that time. The trees have non-LED lights that come on from 8PM to 8AM each night plus their ag fabric that is supposed to offer 4 to 6* frost protection.
Meanwhile, our water feature turned into an ice rink.
We decided to test how thick the ice was.
Sadly, the ice wasn't THAT thick and the chicken broke the ice. But Rex has quick hands. So she was returned to the frozen orchard with her friends.
We determined that a bat was a better ice tester.
Nope. No skating today.
We're also testing the strength of the plants in our winter garden.
Everything is much hardier than I am. I'll be hanging out by the fire. Fingers too cold to type.
