    Default Cold vs. plants

    Forecast low of 24 F for Sunday morning. I plan to cover my small figs and citrus. Blueberries are flowering and hydrangeas have fresh leaves. Do they need to be protected also?

    My plum tree and pear trees are halfway blooming now, so they will suffer some. Wild Chickasaw plums, too. Blueberries have budded out but not bloomed, so I think they'll be fine. Doubt there will be too many other impacts. All of my vegetable transplants aren't in the ground yet. A freeze this hard in two weeks is what will really hurt the fruits, especially the commercial growers.
