I was VERY worried that 2 nights worth of freezing temps would destroy my blooms

1. I understand we had two nights of freezing weather

I spent several uncomfortable hours outside on Tuesday covering plants with a bunch of tarps that I had picked up from Harbor Freight . Zip tied them to the chainlink fence and then to some portable work stands to support them on the outside of the garden. We places 3 box fans bungee corded to milk crates blowing upwards underneath our lilacs bushes to keep the frost off of them. Buckets, tomato cages, storage totes, trash cans, bbq pit cover, trash bags were all pressed into service. I think we saved most everything, but it was a rough two days.
