The leaves were all frozen.  I will have to wait and see if they regrow.  Annoying thing is that other plot is sheltered by trees so quite a few volunteers there are find.

The mist then rolled in about 7 am, it was a couple of hours late but it has protected them from getting the sun on them.

So it is a wait and see.  I could so easily have thrown something over them.   I have a couple of piles of straw.
