The peach tree has its tent! Hopefully the blossoms survive down to 13Β°F. It's double walled with an air gap and 1.5oz frost fabric so rating wise it should work out. πŸ€žπŸΌπŸ‘ A couple blossoming daffodils got buckets. All the raised beds are covered, we're trying to keep the food alive.

You probably know that trick, in case not: these graveyard candles that burn for almost a week are capable of heating a greenhouse to above freezing! Probably any candle works, but they last really long and are cheap

We're using an old incandescent work light on a timer but the same principle.

We actually have a box of old 24hr hurricane candles. I'll use those next year.

This is our first year having to worry about it so we're learning. Light on a timer smart plug was sitting in front of me.
