Protect Your Plants, Indoors and Out
Finding ways to protect your plants when you cannot move your outdoor plants indoors during the winter can be as easy as using a 5-gallon bucket. There are many options available to add winter protection to your favorite outdoor plants. Thankfully, all it takes is a few materials and a few minutes to ensure you ensure lush flora next year.
Covering plants with dark colored plastic can help them survive the winter. The dark color absorbs heat and the plastic helps keep winter temps inside the cover above freezing level.
For smaller plants, you can simply invert a plastic bucket over the top of the plant for protection. There are other products that help to save plants from frost damage. Plant protection blankets are reusable, and individual products can be purchased for shrubs, flowers, and even garden rows.
Some products have more than one purpose and can be used to start seeds earlier in colder regions, as well as for overwintering. Others are specialized for gardening only. These products can help protect existing plants, or vegetable starts that you plant early next season.
