2023-03-12: An Attempt at Frost Protection
Sunday, March 12, 2023 High: 44.6 Low: 35.5 Cloudy, Rained last night and this morning Observations: Cold, wet day. The peas continue to grow Tasks Pruned off some of the dead branches from the grapes and added some leaf mulch. I feel bad for these guys... It's so clayey. Attempted some frost protection on the fruit trees that have flowered (peaches, plums, and nectarines). I used burlap and plastic. It's an experiment. We should be getting lows in the 20s for the next week. I am not protecting any of the in-ground figs at this time. Went to Flat Creek Plant Farm and talked with Ryan. They had some good-looking Apache blackberries, and we talked about Juniper as ground cover Replaced the water filter for the house, then locked myself in the crawlspace.
