Hard frost for westpa tonight should I cover strawberries?
I just got the strawberry pyramid put together last week, we're supposed to have a hard frost tonight. should they be covered. 1 of the plants has a couple flowers and a strawberry. I started them from roots this winter.

I would at least cover them with a floating cover or a bed sheet. If it's windy though, the cover can beat up the flowers. Do you have picnic benches or something else you can use to support the covering material?
Is the pyramid movable? Drag it under the patio table?
If the frost gets them, it might set them back a little, but they'll soon bud and flower some more so don't stress. Just do what you can.
