Frost fighting!!
At 3am this morning we cranked up “Little Toot”, our loyal frost fighting tractor, as the temperatures dropped to -1.5 and we ran “Little Toot“ until 8:20am 
Fortunately it was a very light frost 
Fortunately it was a very light frost Both Sam and I were up from 10pm last night – he is in charge of frost fighting at another Orchard in Roxburgh East, so my job is to continually check all the cold spots in the Orchard 
So from 3am it was all go
My job from then on is to keep an eye on the place until we shut down – two of my cats kept me company all night whilst I was patrolling 
Here’s some photos of the blossoms cocooned in the ice
