Thank you so for sharing these ideas! I'm in Alabama and it's the beginning of March of 2022 and just planted my azalea and it's getting in the 30s tomorrow night!! Thank you again!

Usually I find wind comes with the cold in my northern Michigan garden, so I use clothes pins or binder clips to secure the old bedsheets around my hydrangeas.

Hi Jenny and Jerry! My last frost date is a month past yours, but I just can't resist planting some annuals much earlier than I should, knowing full well that they might get nipped by a frost. Heck, if something happens to my early plants, that's just another opportunity for me to go to the greenhouses again! It's a win in my book, lol! Honestly, I don't like to lose plants to frost, but I can't resist going to garden centers and greenhouses! I used to tell my dear husband that gardening (and shopping for garden-related anything) is my drug of choice! Happy Spring! ~Margie

Bless You for posting this video dreading the next 3 nights🌻🌺❤️🌱

Excellent, timely advice, Jenny. Especially for all our new gardeners out there. :)

Very helpful. I've got a few old moving blankets. I can (in theory) can have frost any month of the year.

Oh this video is exactly what I need! Just came back to the house after moving my flowers in & out the whole day. Most tricky time for me. Many thanks Jenny!

Yes i agree here in regina sk it was 60 above sat and now we are just got a nasty blizzard and now about 3 inches of new snow ran out and covered my roses again

Thank you. We are passed our frost date (Mar 28th). I was very worried about my panicle and large leaf hydrangeas that have already leafed out, but sounds like they'll be ok. I am going to cover some new calla lilies I planted a couple of weeks ago and 2 salvias (annual) that I bought on accident (and already planted). I thought they were perennials.

I've got my collection of big buckets, sheets & branches on stand-by for the hosta, ferns & other tender babies. We'll see how low it's going to go. Edit: I use wooden clothespins or landscape fabric staples to affix sheets to the branch bottoms/ground

Thanks for posting this video. I am busy gathering covers for my plants also. I have a question about Peonies. I'm also in zone 7B. My Peonies have popped up sooner than normal this year and they have lots of buds. I'm assuming they should be covered but wanted to ask to be sure. Also, what about things emerging from the ground, Baptisia, Hosta's, lily's etc? Most of your tips is what I do, but was glad to learn about the plastic. I'll be sure to not do that as I have some in the past. Any help would be appreciated. Love your video's!!

Great caution. My city in WV has had a few days up to 80 degrees lately but I hear possibly snow is in our weekly forecast. The weather swings are just crazy! Anywho, would inexpensive painting drop cloths work for plant coverings as I don't have an excessive amount of old sheets? Lol.

Thank you thank you thank you! I had to keep reminding myself to be patient because we were having “false spring”. I don’t even like to clean up my flower beds until the treat of frost is gone. It is so hard to be patient. And you taught me something that I’ve been doing wrong- don’t use black plastic. I have used black plastic garbage bags or landscape fabric and have gotten lucky. I won’t use it from now on. 🙏😁

i have started a new flower bed just three seasons ago, and first two was really tricky to not buy all these great plants in March! what i found this year that helped me a lot - is having perennials in the garden. I have worked these past two years to add them in, and now i see great results. The flowerbed doesn't look empty, perennials are waking up, shrubs have some structure - seeing some activity helps to control the urge :)

I went to the local Thrift store a couple years ago and bought sheets for practically nothing. I keep them on hand.

Good advice. I would add one thing. Make sure your cover, whatever it is, reaches the ground. If it does not, probability of frost damage goes up greatly!

What if they expect the temps to suddenly go at or below freezing for a night or 2 "and" they also expect some rain showers that could get some flakes mixing in by morning? Will that cold wet cloth become a problem laying against the plant leaves? I have window boxes exactly like yours and it just so happens all of my "goldilocks" have survived the winter (Michigan).
