Augie:" I noticed this evening that all of my plum trees, and the two Elberta peaches are starting to bloom.
They’re probably gonna get bit by frost."

Use dry cleaners plastic bags to cover the trees, if you can ,
and throw a 'trouble light' of at least 30 watts under each tree , and you should minimize any frost damage.

I’ve got 30 orchard trees. Most of them would take a 20x20 tarp to cover. Some years they make, some years they don’t.

We had a pretty serious frost last night. Just have to wait and see.
