An old comforter,or blanket over will save it.
Here is my older fig today.

Well, I did my best to avoid the worst and now hope for the best.
I lined up some plants along a south facing wall under an overhang and enclosed the plants with a cheap tarp.
In an open area (but under a spruce tree) which is windy at this time, I placed a tarp on top of another group of plants.
I managed to bring inside garage all  smaller pots with young plants.
We expect -2C tonight. The plants will stay as they are (watched for heat if sunny) for another day since we are expecting -3C tomorrow night (.......and then breba in July if they don't get knocked of by physical touch during this protection movements).

Thank's for the heads up. We had frost last night and i lost my Lillie's and 2 fig's i missed with trash bag. It was 33 at 5 AM and 31 by 6:15 AM

Ya my father was in a hurry to take all my bigger plants to his house I passed by yesterday and most of them have have some frost damage  after being hit with wind & frost 2 days in a row and now again last night looks like i will not be eating many figs this year.

Bass I hope you had the time to cover up last night. I would not want t see all those fig's frost burnt.
It was great meeting with you on Saturday morning and all the time you took to explain the different plants you have to offer..Every thing i bought made it back to NJ safe and sound. I will be taking the Mary Lain to my son this morning. I live in Southampton Twp, and he lives in Mullica Hill about 1 hr south of me. We had a great time visiting Elias Market a must stop on the next trip.
Thank you for you time

As I mentioned above, I did my best to protect my plants from the frost by putting tarp on top of the well leafed plants. There was no wind so the tarp stayed in place on top. I forgot to remove the tarp until lunch time and though there was no frost damage but the top of the taller plants touching the tarp were cooked because of a very sunny day even though the temperature did not go above 65!
Ten more days to the start of 'frost free' season.

My youngest plants got Damaged last night,by frost.
We suppose to have 41F,cold,so I did not protect them anymore,and top leaves are burned.
It must have been 30F,at least to burn the top leaves.
No danger of losing the plant,it will recover for sure,but it cought me (frost damage)3 times this Spring,in the second half of April,and in May.
Very strange Spring,no doubt.
