    Danny, a tip here from Texas. You should never wrap a tree in plastic. Plastic actually exacerbates the cold. In addition, you should tent the tree, not wrap it. Tenting leaves the ground open. Radiant heat from the ground will be trapped in the canopy of the tree. I teach "tents, not lollipops" in my garden classes. We weight them down with whatever is on hand or make sandbags.
    Love the results in the high tunnels. I guess I need one now!

    Good morning Danny and Wanda . During 2024 I gave regular haircuts to my bulbing onions when they were flopping over in the garden. It doesn’t appear to affect the growth of the bulbs at harvest. I do it with my onion seedlings too when they get long and flop over.

I have some big old pots like you the big black ones and my peppers and bell peppers are still doing the same thing is still growing even some tomatoes are still coming along I’m sure they’re pretty tasty but I picked a bunch cause I’m gonna make a salad later on. I got a lot of lettuce growing. I don’t have the things that I was worried about. I brought that in the garage. I have a couple of plants inside I got overwintered bell pepper inside and a basil and I think I have a young peach tree that I’m gonna bring in but everything seems to be good. Or dormant.🌱🌱

    It's definitely staying warmer inside the high tunnel but a lot of moisture.
    I'm glad the temps are staying good in the high tunnel and most everything
    is doing well.
    It was in the 40's here last few days but going back down below zero again by tomorrow.
    You still have peppers galore and I think that's great.
    Seems like some of what you've covered may be alright.

    Danny, what size is your high tunnel? I watch all your videos, but my old brain can't remember.

    23° here in NE OH. Honestly think N.America Dbl-Vortex threat will dissipate to near nothing. Cold as is but not much else. * Bet we'll learn how to grow all yr round no matter where we live. Small industries & farms will rejuvenate §eed §tock via homestead Landrace species. *Might try a strip of free amazing @mazon bubble wrap under inverted pots for xtra protection. Does more than you'd imagine.

    We call those Japanese plums. We never had one freeze and die but they usually don’t rebloom if the fruit freezes.
