Re: [nafex] frost



I've wrapped muscadine vines with bags of insulation on the inside and
reflective bubble plastic outside to slow them down in spring and it has
worked.  However a caution - as you know,  what works with one plant won't
necessarily work with another.  Worth a try however.   Hector Black zone 6
