Wunderground shows DFW airport reached 34 on Friday night and 32 on Saturday night. It appears my contraption of lying tomato cages longways over the plants (ranging from 6 inches and just planted to about a foot high), covering with thick plastic and weighing down with bricks provided a safe, warm and happy home, PHEW! One Cherokee purple and one Brandywine have clusters of large flowers, a couple of which I'm watching as they appear to possibly be the first to set this year. We shall see. Hopefully, this was the last freeze scare this year, as life throws enough worries without worrying about your babies freezing!
