If it stays 28 or above the blueberries and strawberries will be fine.  27 is the damage temp.

Gregg if you can throw any ole tarp or plastic over them. It's the wind chill blowing that had been the kiss of death for me as it drops the temp another 5+. Good luck and our fingers are crossed for you.

Its a nightmare that doesn't want to end. Good luck I hope you can salvage something, with 40 potted plants you will still have a bounteous crop!

I was out between the rainstorms today and noticed the very beginning of bloom on the blackberries. Winter ain't over till blackberry winter is over. They're calling for nighttime temperatures here to drop into the 40s Wed. If they run true to form they'll lower that number by a couple of degrees every day till it's "oop's, frost tonight". It's been that kind of winter.

Greg, How did it go for you the other night? We had 37F here in Central AR, but did you get sub-freezing? I hope your plants did OK
