Do you think if you had covered them during the "Hard freeze" it would have
helped?
I know it is not always easy esp when weather forcasters (around here) are
not right 50% of the time
Isn't Remay supossed to add 3 to 5 degrees with some frost protection?
If WOW only adds about the same it would seem that Remay would be less
costly for the "Space Challeged" Gardener
