Some good advice from Linda on our Facebook
As I sit down to watch the news this Friday evening, I see we need to plan for a freeze from 1 am to 9 am Sunday morning. Remember that presentation when Gary Babic educated us on how to prepare for cold winter weather? Water everything on Saturday because the ground does not freeze here. The roots of the plants will appreciate that. Bring your potted plants closer to the house, cover with cloth from top all the way to the ground. Pile the mulch around your natives, if you think they need it. Take the cloth off when the sun comes out and the temperature gets above freezing. No plastic covers! Remember that we can’t cut back the trees and bushes until St. Patrick’s Day. Because we may be going through this again, we don’t want our bushes to be making new growth.
