As Mother’s Day approaches
there is the potential for snow and freezing temperatures. One forecast is calling for 32ºF tonight
(Saturday), snow Sunday and 30ºF on Sunday night. IF this happens, you should
be prepared to cover your plants to protect them. The simplest solution is to
bring everything that hasn’t been planted into the garage or house.
For plants
in the ground, you can cover them with buckets,
old nursery pots,
sheets, floating
row cover, insulating material like N-Sulate,
You can close the tops of your Walls-O-Water
or cover smaller plants with hot kaps. Covering plants with plastic sheeting is
not recommended. If we get a heavy snow, go out and shake your trees to knock
the snow off to help prevent damage. Or use a broom to shake the snow off the branches.
After Monday, the weather forecast is for more moderate temperatures.
