My Chicago fig tree still has unripened figs on it, but the lows for the next three nights will dip well below freezing, and I’m worried we’ll lose them all. Therefore, we got our little greenhouse tent from Aldi and covered it. Really hoping it works! We’ve got 30 or so figs on our little tree.

I found this.
