BIG FREEZE ON IT'S WAY!!!!

Well if the forecast they are predicting comes true for Sunday, Monday & Tuesday night (lows in the mid 20's) we will loose the peaches, strawberries, possible blueberries & apples. We are trying to figure out ways to save some of the crops. We plan to set up sprinkler system to run on the strawberries. And we are looking at the possibility of throwing some old row cover up and over some of the peach trees. There is no way we can do near all of them, but if we could get a few and it would be enough to protect them...
This is one of the many risks and joys of farming, trying to out wit mother nature, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't!
