Oh I'm all concerned now too. We have a freeze watch starting Friday night. It was 80 degrees for several days last week and now this! I'm completely inexperienced and have no clue what types of plants and trees will be okay or if I should try to cover everything. I'm most concerned about my conifers and JM's. Most of my conifers are at various stages. Larix and Metasequoia are all leafed out. Most of my conifers have just started breaking bud and some others haven't popped out yet. This is my first year with so many new plantings. EEEk! Should I cover everything that has broken bud? Should I cover the ones that haven't yet too? Do I need to cover my Japanese Maples, fruit trees, barberies, flowers, anything that grows. I'm sure my freshly planted rocks will do fine. =) I guess I should be asking, is there anything that will generally be okay and doesn't need covering? Thanks for helping the total newb and hope you folks don't get to irritated with educating me. =)

All done scanning...nothing found and MSE seems to be working correctly again after a restart....I guess all is well for now. Thank you for your help and concern...you probably know how we novices panic when something goes wrong :o)

It means your web browser, like Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, etc. Close any open windows. A pretty common request for programs that are tied to your browser.

Thanks for the thoughts. As a follow-up, we did a little bit more investigation after my original post, and it does seem like a standard practice. I just felt panicky because these windows were my pride. I still don't know if there was another way to approach the security issue...but what's done is done in our home. If I would have known in advance, I don't think I would have let them drill holes in every operable window (especially the ones upstairs). I think I would have foregone window security in some places. Oh well. Live and learn.
