littlemountian, I appreciate the advice, but if I made a teepee frame for the big plant, it would need to be damn near 10 feet tall, and way too visible, but I might try to do it for the smaller one... Like I said my budget is nil, but I realise I need to do something quick. I might have some planks lying around I might be able to rig something up. I will keep this thread updated strictly with information regarding covering the plants... I believe that if I use the frost blanket stuff I am currently using, that removing it isn't so much an issue, as it does breath and does let sun through, which would be a lot more convienient for me. Its too bad my other plants are way behind because the trees they are in are protecting them quite nicely from most of the crap weather I've had.
