So we are predicted to have widespread frost tonight and tomorrow night. Thought you'd like to see how I spent Mother's Day this year. We can have frost till Memorial Day but often don't. This year the entire garden is 2 weeks ahead so it's especially vulnerable. I just decided to pick and chose what to attempt to protect and bring in various flowers to enjoy inside in case I lose them outside.

I covered the cyps with a towel and them threw on top my tobacco net that I use on the blueberries later as a bird shield. I'm not sure if this will protect the shade garden but it's worth a try. I tried to buy expensive frost protek products today at HD but they only sell them online. So back to sheets and towels for the peonies. Here's the shade garden.
