All,

Thanks for the replies. All good thoughts.

We are having very mind weather the last week or so in NJ, (50's during the day), thus, I hope this will be the anomaly.

I put a brown tarp over the top in an effort to create some shade. (common knowledge would assume a dark tarp will actually attract heat, we'll see).

I actually moved some of the pines to a bench with a plastic sheet as I do not want to take a chance. Moved some of the maples into my unheated garage. Temps are in the 40's the last few days in the garage.

Let's hope for some cold weather!

Thanks.
Ron
