The first frost can turn a lush garden into a sad collection of blackened stems almost overnight, but not every plant needs to meet its chilly fate. Some garden favorites deserve a rescue mission before temperatures dip, especially plants that can move indoors, produce more food, or return next year from stored roots.
The important part involves choosing wisely because bringing half the garden inside sounds charming until the kitchen becomes a jungle and every windowsill develops a personal relationship with aphids. Focus on plants that offer a real payoff, then give them the right kind of protection before the cold arrives.
