Latest weather predictions are showing a freakish late freeze/snow for me next Monday. Temperatures could be in the mid to upper 20s for a few hours in the early morning hours and not get out of the 30s during the day for a day or two. I have two dwarf cavendishes and eight musa basjoo's in the ground. It has been above 40 at night for the last 2 weeks, and our normal low is 40 this time of the year. Last year we didn't have anymore freezes after April 10th. How can I protect my 10 bananas for this period? After I get through this, I'm sure the chance of a freeze is done with. I do not want to dig them up and stress them again as they are babies.

Ugh, this sucks. It's 65F out right now and was in the 70s yesterday. Can't believe this is happening.
