BELLEVILLE, Ill. - Warm weather in February and March had crops at Eckert’s Farm coming out of dormancy early, but luckily the timing of this cold isn’t too terrible just yet.“Getting ready to bloom. They’re not blooming yet, fortunately," said Chris Eckert, president of Eckert's Inc. "So this cool weather has us a little on edge about not losing any crops to mother nature."Plants on the ground the next three nights are most at risk because the temperature at night is colder.“Strawberries for us, in particular, is a crop that we know we’re going to have to protect because the buds are formed and out there," Eckert said. "They’re not open flowers yet, but they’re still vulnerable to temperatures below 20 degrees. In our case, we’re putting some fabric blankets over our strawberries, and in the case of certain varieties that are a little more advanced, we’re actually putting two layers of covering.” Trending: Mother of Jefferson County detainee wants to visit son in ICU While apples...1 hospitalized after shooting at South Los Angeles Burger King
