Today I’m going to show you what I do to protect my vegetable garden from cold weather, snap frost, and even a snap freeze!
Depending on where you live in the world, the fall and spring (and sometimes even winter) can bring surprise frost and freeze warnings. Most vegetables we tend to plant in the fall or spring, generally like cool weather. However, some of those plants need you to protect them from an unexpected or early spell of cold weather! Whether you have young seedling plants in your garden, or tender cool weather plants that can be damaged by frost and freeze, I’m going to give you my fail safe approach to using whatever frost protection I have available to protect my garden from surprise cold weather, frost, and even freeze!
It's a simple 3 step approach, and it takes all the stress out of a surprise frost or freeze so you can get your tender garden plants protected fast with what you have!
