Product Information

Tender plants have soft, succulent tissues and are easily damaged or killed by freezing temperatures (unless protected). Examples of tender plants include summer garden crops like tomatoes, basil, cucumber, squash, peppers, and eggplant along with tropical fruit trees (citrus, mango, banana, avocados), succulents, most annual flowers, and common houseplants. Young sprouts and seedlings are also considered tender, even if they’ll grow up to be cold-tolerant plants (such as broccoli or cabbage seedlings). Any newly built walls or other masonry construction will require protection against frost where temperatures are expected to drop below 2°C. You should be protecting all masonry with polythene or hessian, ideally. If temperatures are expected to fall to an extremely low level, anti-freeze agents like insulation boards may be required and heated enclosures may even need to be considered.

Plants should be protected from frost in spring until the Ice Saints (12th to 15th May) because night frosts are possible until then.

Certain varieties of kale, spinach, or cabbage may be more frost-tolerant than others. If you have harsh winters, selecting the most hardy varieties will help the plants survive longer! Different plant cultivars also have varying days to maturity, which is important to consider if you have an especially short growing season. Choosing faster-maturing options can help maximize your harvest before the deep freeze sets in. Another shot from my friend Meg’s garden ( @seedtofork) in the spring. Gardening in Minnesota, she is able to significantly extend her short growing season by using hoops and row covers to warm the soil and air around the plants.

Perched over vulnerable plants (usually supported by hoops) frost cloth offers added insulation and shields against the icy moist air. In fact, garden frost covers can protect plants from frost damage even in outdoor temperatures as low as 20 degrees– depending on the type of frost cloth used! Garden fabric warms the soil, which protects roots and also helps spring-planted seedlings grow better during otherwise chilly conditions. For example, we recently planted a row of pineapple guava and loquats (both hardy below 20F) that will grow into a large living wall and help shelter the nearby sensitive avocado trees from cold wind.To meet the functional requirements of Appendix C of our Technical Manual, minimum working temperatures should never fall below 2°C when working with masonry. It is imperative that regular temperature readings are taking when working during cold weather periods. Like this article?

In the event of prolonged frost and winter sun, evergreen shrubs, roses and heat-loving woody plants must be protected. Cover the plants with air-permeable materials only, such as frost protection fleece or jute. CMT Group ensures that you, our valued customer, enjoys your shopping experience as we strive to make your experience ‘hassle free’. Come summer, start fertilising plants with potassium instead of nitrogen. Potassium is stored in the plant’s cell sap, which increases the salt content and in turn lowers the freezing point making the plant more winter hardy. Applying nitrogen-rich fertiliser in autumn will promote growth, making the plant sprout too early and consequently more susceptible to frost. Additionally, nitrogen-rich fertilisers contain ammonium which inhibits potassium uptake and is counterproductive to winter hardiness. It is still important to be aware that many potassium fertilisers contain chloride which many garden plants may react strongly to. Creating a mulch mound

Overwintering tender plants: wrapping - RHS Gardening

The temperature at which plants should be covered varies according to the season and the plant’s characteristics. Plants that are very hardy may not need any additional frost protection. Some, on the other hand, are vulnerable to frost damage between autumn and spring and others only in spring. Because not all plants are equally frost-hardy, always tailor your frost protection to the situation. Autumn marks the beginning of the frost protection season. Keep an eye on the weather forecast and the temperature. The first frosts of the season usually occur on clear, windless nights – make sure you have frost protection measures in place by then. On the other hand, hardy plants can withstand frost or short-term freezing conditions. Hardy annual vegetable plants include common cool season crops like cabbage, broccoli, kale, cauliflower, Swiss chard, carrots, radishes, turnips, and beets. Once established, these types of plants should readily survive a light frost or even temperatures in the high 20s with little-to-no protection. Frost doesn’t impact all plants equally. Plants are characterized by the degree of cold temperatures they can tolerate, classified as either “hardy” or “tender”. Fabric offers a wide range of agricultural uses such as seed protection, landscaping and weed control.

Protect the lawn by giving it a potassium-rich fertiliser in autumn. Potassium increases the plants’ resistance and makes them strong for the cold season. Special autumn fertilisers with a long-lasting effect are particularly suitable for this. Perennial plants benefit from autumn lawn fertilisers as well as it helps them to withstand dry, cold periods better. To dive even deeper into the world of winter gardening, I highly suggest the book “The Year Round Vegetable Gardener” by Niki Jabbour.
