Winter means freezing temperatures and frosty nights. There are hardy plants that can withstand whatever winter throws at them, but also many plants that need protection from the elements. Knowing when to cover plants for frost helps you stay ahead of the cold and keep your precious plants tucked up and out of danger.
Your climate will dictate when you need to cover plants for frost, ranging from early fall to mid-winter, but being proactive ensures that you get any covers in place in good time. That includes understanding when temperatures get potentially dangerous and monitoring forecasts and weather alerts.
