Is there any hope?
As most of you know I have been on here for several years now and was growing about 40 different varieties. I always take extra measures yearly to ensure minimal loss however with what Texas and the Houston area is presently deal with I fear for the worst. Every year I remove all the leaves. Cover and wrap with freeze cloth and wrap with Surran wrap. Then I cover with at least a 1ft or 2 of mulch.
I also had pups in the heated greenhouse. Unfortunately all was without power for 24hrs straight. Going off at night while I was sleeping.
Our Temps have been down in the single digits for a period of time and are now hovering in the mid 20's
Experts I would like your opinion. Is their any chance of survival? I am just sick. Will not unwrap until we are completely out in the clear. Please let me know what the experts think.
Happy growing all,
Darla
