Frost fighting!!
At 3am this morning we cranked up βLittle Tootβ, our loyal frost fighting tractor, as the temperatures dropped to -1.5 and we ran βLittle Tootβ until 8:20am 
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 




Hereβs some photos of the blossoms cocooned in the ice
