This time around the forecasters were dead on.
First night: snow, temps at 32 degrees.  
Last night: temps down to 27 degrees.

Last night had sprinklers on Japanese Plums, miniature lights and 
some towels on apricot, covered 6 of the 12 blueberries with jugs 
under the covers and covered 6 ornamental plantings.  The other six 
blueberries really need one more year of not cropping, so I thought I 
let nature handle it :-)  I'm not sure how things will turn out yet, 
but when I took off the coverings before I left for work things 
didn't look too bad.  The jugs of water hadn't frozen, so we'll see.

What apricot/plum hybrids do you have?
