Well, I got my strawberries mostly weeded

I hope you were able to save everything!

I hope that your towels and sheets help to save your blooms and flowers. We're a little bit later than you are. I don't think that we have trees blooming yet so hopefully they won't be hurt. We do have some wheat that is heading out but my husband thought that they would be too far in the plant that it wouldn't hurt it. We lost all of our wheat crop last year, between the freeze that we had and the flood.

Bob planted tons of wheat in my garden. It was good because it saved the topsoil- we had torrential rains this winter, but what a trial for me as I weeded it out of my strawberries. The fruit trees are below the garden so the wheat traveled down there too. Nothing on our property is level except the house and I'm not sure about that. Someone told me the other day to put straw or hay thickly around every fruit tree and they would blossom later (hopefully after the late frosts). Have you ever heard of that? I"m sorry to hear you lost your wheat last year. That was one awful 4 days in April.

Tonight's the big night. If it stays in the 20's for longer than 4 hours the fruit trees not covered won't have any fruit this year. They say there will be widespread frost also but my strawberries should be ok. I really think it will be ok but who knows!
AngieDoggles, I got your message but don't really understand. I clicked on the site but don't know if I entered your name correctly. Can you explain what it means?
