Don’t let the cold catch you off guard! Here’s a few tips to help you fight off frosts and keep your garden winter-ready! - Harvest your crops that will be hurt by extreme cold before the cold front hits your area. Crops such as Broccoli, Cauliflower, Snow Peas, Beets, Turnips, Mustard, Kale, and Kohlrabi will need to be harvested if temperatures dip below 25°F.
- Make sure your plants have sufficient moisture. Moist soil can hold up to 4x more heat than dry soil, conducting heat faster to the soil surface and keeping the air above it about 5° warmer. You can irrigate prior to cold snaps if needed.
- Mulch your plants. Low plants can be covered with mulch, such as straw, during short cold periods.
- Remove your fertilizer injectors to avoid damage and bring them inside. Drip tape and mainlines will be fine. Hold off on fertilizing until any cold snaps have passed.
- Cover your plants to protect them from cold temperatures when the weather gets below 20°F. Covering your plants with a frost cover will minimize damage from cold fronts. Try out one of our FROST COVERS before any cold snaps or freezes come through.
