I think this is gonna work ! 10 of 14 plants appear to have new

garden !


The strawberries I have will take a hard frost, the other 4 may yet
shoot.


That's my experience with strawberries too. We get temps down to
-9degreesC and the strawb plants have never seemed to be frost
damaged.


I may be a bit gunshy , these are the first I've gotten to actually grow .
Right now it's about 23° here and mine are covered . I had to improvise , I
put a foam plate upside down over each plant ant held it down with a small
rock .
