An old trick in orchards is to turn the sprinklers on. If the plants are
covered with ice, they will have little or no damage. But for flowers, the
ice may be too heavy and cause damage by the weight. Perhaps you could turn
the water off before the weight is too great. Smudge pots or smoky fires
have been used with some success too, but this is in orchards. I'd guess
you don't have too much to loose by trying.
So does this mean to leave the sprinklers on all night or to just wet the plants before the temperature drops? -Allan
