OMG! You are just a charming man. Thank you for you're vedio. I grew some pumpkins and I wanted to cover them with blankets or towels for the night. However my fiance told me to use plastic. "Plastic?," I thought to my self. His mom gardens and he had some employment with the University ground, so he "thinks" he knows. I grow up on my grandparents farm. I will use your video do you prove him wrong, again 😁 It's all in good fun, he will find you charming too 😉
Wonderful information! Your sweet. Earth protectors and I love the ending. Happy to brig the flowers in. I'm in Minneapolis thou. Winter is 20f most days.
How to Protect Plants from Freezing If you are only expecting a light freeze, you may be able to protect plants in a freeze simply by covering them with a sheet or a blanket. This acts like insulation, keeping warm air from the ground around the plant. The warmth may be enough to keep a plant from freezing during a short cold snap. For added protection when you protect plants in a freeze, you can place plastic over the sheets or blankets to help keep warmth in. Never cover a plant with just plastic, however, as the plastic will damage the plant. Make sure that a cloth barrier is between the plastic and the plant. Be sure to remove the sheets and blanket and plastic first thing in the morning after an overnight cold snap. If you do not do so, condensation can build up and freeze again under the covering, which will

Adrienne, The fleece blanket would probably be OK for light frosts and short periods, but I doubt it would have enough insulation to be a long term solution. The nice thing about potted plants is that you can move them, so obviously, when the weather is likely to get cold, see if you can move them indoors. I manage to over-winter my tender (and near hardy plants) in a basement. It doesn't have any heat but there's enough warmth coming from the rest of my home to keep the temperature above freezing. I cluster the evergreens around the windows so they get some light and this works for me. If it is not possible to bring them indoors, then a suggestion I would make would be to talk to the folk at your favorite garden center next spring, and see if they can guide you with suggestions for ones that are hardier. There's quite a few hardy (garden) ferns that are really beautiful and maybe if you were to grow some of these in pots, you could cluster them in a sheltered spot or plunge the pots in soil during the winter time, to stop the roots from freezing. The idea is that you use these for decorating rather than tender ones. Hope this helps.
I live in northern California.How do I protect my potted ferns from the fall and winter that's coming up. I had beautiful ferns last year but lost them because I didn't know how to protect them. Will a thin sheet be good enough?
Wow, it is so kind of you to ask! actually I have a question please. We just moved to a new apartment and I was planning to plant some flowers for spring, in pots which I bought from Ross. They do not have a drain under and I was confused if I should make one or no, and if I must then how? Thanks in advance :)
Sumedha Shendge It is imprtant to have good drainage for most things that you will want to grow in pots. So, if your pots do not have drainage holes, then if it is possible (and that depends on the material they are made from) then I would suggest you think about drilling some holes in te base. I do this all the time with plastic, fibreglass and even ceramic pots (although this needs a specail drill bit), Hope ths helps

My trees are not dead, healing from frost but new plants are growing back from its roots? Shall i remove all tiny fresh branches from bottom bark?please advice .
Depends on the type of tree and if it was grafted or not. What you may be seeing are suckers coming form a root stock, in which case you should take these off.
I live in Melbourne, Australia. Last winter I covered my chilli plants fully with fleece frost blanket and kept covered for the whole winter period. I found my plants died . Is it due to lack of water? Do I need to water often when I cover the plant fully with Fleece frost blanket. Do I need to keep open some area so air can get into? Please advise. Also do I need to take off blanket during day time when the temperature is above 0 degree C.

It sounded like the branches were breaking, didn't it! But, actually they were fine, the sound of them inside the tub somehow got exaggerated by the microphone! Maybe, in hind sight (to illustrate the point) I should have used something that was softer.... cardboard or newspaper or the like. Anyway, I appreciate you taking the time to make the comment
My left ear really enjoyed this.
Thank you! I just planted some plants and I need to protect them before our last snow of the season. Very informative!

What if it rains on frost cloth. Will that then freeze and make things worse. Should it be removed if it rains and then the temperature drops?
Dude, you are cool!
You are too :3
Love it!
Great idea!
What was the fleecy frost blanket he used?

oh geez. I spent the day making hothouse like covers of visqueen. sigh....
Will the cover method help in Hungary for Brugmansias?
Do u spray water all over the plants or just the roots and ground?
Very good video sir :) thank you very much.
You are welcome, it is nice to see so much interest. Let me know if there's any other gardening things you would like to know about.

Where can I find a fleece frost blanket
They are usually stocked at Garden Centers. If they are not actually in stock when you ask, maybe they can order them in for you.
