Ok spent yesterday running around covering stuff...April 16 and we have a cold spell! The freeze was beautiful ice crystals across the bright new green grass. I ran around uncovering things this morning so they can catch the light and gather some warmth to make it through another not as cold night. 31* is very bad and it'll be just as cold tonight! Last summer my sisters bought these plastic light covers. We put solar lights in them and they were beautiful. and then during the winter we stacked them up and put them away. Well I took them out and hadn't had time to set them up when this cold wave was predicted. So I used them to cover my plants! I love things with multiple purposes! The tops have holes where the light fixture fits so I covered them with a plant dish and added a brick to keep it steady in the high winds! Instant Cloche and yard sale cheap! Inside are my coffee can herbs! I keep old sheets and things for emergency too. I checked on my sheet covered strawberries and guess what frozen solid but the tender herbs in the "cloche" are fine! Lessons learned!
