Saving the Pear Tree

My Pear tree has flowered and tonight is a hard freeze. We built a make shift metal cage with a tarp over top and a 5 Gallon bucket of hot water under it. Hope it works.

Unfortunately, our apple tree is too big to tarp with the 40+ mph winds. It hasn't flowered but its buds are ready. Hopefully it won't freeze, finger and toes crossed.

Covered my bleeding hearts with a bucket too.
