Last night it got down to about 25 or so. The hoophouse was left open to allow the freeze to get to the plants and it looks like they did get hit.
We talked to a nurseryman the other day and he concurred with the thinking that it isn't the cold in the winter it is the wind-desiccation, or the drying out of the water in the plant. He had several plants that had overwintered in some extreme cold temps but were fine because of the shelter from the wind.
The next project is to water the garden in and try to get thru the next week of rapidly cooling temperatures.
We'll see how this works.
be well; peace...
