Battling frost!

What a scary sight to wake up to! Kind of pretty too. Dipped down to 26' last night.

Looks like you are well past bud break. Yikes!

You make me feel a little bit better. Mine are not either.

Wow, even in Missouri no bud break yet? I would have thought the leaves on the tree's would be out by now down where you are?

I maybe lost 5% of the shoots. Maybe not even that much. There are spots I've found that the sprinkler won't hit. Those shoots didn't make it. Damn Baco Noir! Double A did say they are susceptible to frost damage. My Pinot Gris show no sign of life, I have a few Seyval just budding out.

20 miles South West of Kirksville. Maybe 40 miles south of Iowa.

Yesterday there was bud break on the Reliance, Mars and Concord. Bud swell on the 550 Cayuga White we planted a week and a half ago.

The Cayuga White and Vidal Blanc that we planted last year don't show any sign of bud swell. I've talked with two others within 4 miles of me and theirs don't show any either. I'm new at this so it makes me nervous!

Half the trees are only starting to leaf out.

Wow, looks like you were prepared with the sprinklers. Keep us posted as to their effectiveness!

Froze again last night. Sprinkler ran again.

Give them some time, costs nothing, and I've found it's really hard to kill a grape.
