You might have heard of the term 'overwintering' being thrown around when consulting care tasks for different plants. It refers to getting your garden plants ready for winter and for coping with harsher weather conditions. Not taking steps to overwinter different plants can have detrimental consequences for their future health, even killing them off.
There are several important ways to protect your plants from frost and protect vegetables from frost, so you don't lose all your plants during winter. 'Overwintering is the process of protecting plants while outside or bringing them indoors for shelter from frigid temps, snow and ice,' explains Tammy Sons, horticulturist and CEO of TN Nurseries.
