Have you tried smudge pots? When I was still a kid (a while back ...) my Dad had them. He didn't use them often, but when he did, they saved his "babies." I don't remember much besides the smoke, some heat and saving his grapes.

I hadn't but that is also a good idea.
Your suggestions did get my mild rolling last night on some things I might try this weekend when it's going to get even colder.

Last night was 30, but I don't think it was 30 for very long. I have a digital thingy that tells me how cold it gets overnight, but not for how long it was that cold. However I'm going to bet based on the lack of frost in the little valley below and that my roses looked a-ok this morning, not long at all. Which is a relief.
Still calling for 29 and a freeze this weekend though so I'll keep mulling ideas. The sheets are over the veggies for now.

Zephy is my biggest rose at about 12' x 15' with a lot of 18' sprawling canes (thornless, thankfully) My other climbers are younger and don't have nearly the spawl she does, but I do have regular shrub sized roses in front of the climbers. They are not close to the thermal mass of the wall so I might need a way to cover and protect those, the clematis, iris, and peony too.

Put Google Photos on your phone. It's free (you can pay but you don't need to). Run it and it will upload all of your photos into their cloud (granted they now own your pictures much like facebook, photobucket, or any other site you upload pics to), and now you can access those pictures from any device, any phone, and ipad or tablet, any computer...literally anywhere with internet access.

Makes changing phones or other devices not such a big deal.

One thing i will say, if you use the free version of Google photos it will not upload the original picture, it makes them a smaller (remember it's free!) whereas that paid version uploads your pictures in full size.

I personally have never noticed a difference in picture quality after taking them between computers using Google Photos.

Sorry, forgot to reply before haha

Anyway, I think Apple actually has its own cloud? So it should be fairly easy to switch if I get another Apple though of course it would suck if I didn’t haha

I think I had Google Photos or Drive or something on my old Galaxy.

I actually used to have Dropbox but then the Apple photos apparently have to be adapted from or changed or something to be uploaded? Plus it wouldn’t load all my old photos for some reason. But I do still have it and am paying for it cause I have tons of old photos on there. But I really should start using it again haha

It sounds really good!!! Hahah I’ve had like four glasses of tea today well, three but I’m working on my fourth lol two of the iced stuff and two big mugs of caffeinated tea.

Should probably forgo the second caffeinated one considering I’m already pretty anxious/shaky but oh well

My husbands brother was upset the day he had to switch to a smartphone because they no longer carry them at his service provider

I'll be in the same boat, at some point. I plan to keep my flip phone for as long as possible ... I'm really likin' the $35 monthly payment!
