Well, as we approach the later half of fall,
overnight frost will become more common in Jack Wu with
the 22 News,
Storm team is working for you on how colder temperatures
will affect your plants.
Freezing overnight temperatures are the worst enemy of an outdoor
garden.
Most warm weather plants can't stay outside much later than
the beginning of November.
With multiple days of these below freezing temperatures forecasted for
this week,
it's time to bring those plants inside.
Eric Tiedemann Mao with the Hadley Garden Center suggests precautionary
measures.
Before you bring those plants inside.
Before you bring them in,
you definitely want to check and make sure you're not
bringing in any insects that would be harmful to the
plants.
So really do a close check on them if you
need to do anything in terms of spraying them to
kill those insects.
It's best to do it outside if you can't bring
your plants inside.
Tiedemann Mao also suggests you could cover your plants in
a sheet to trap any warmth from the soil.
While you might not be able to keep all your
plants outside,
there are a few exceptions.
While these Evergreen furs are not exactly the most bright
and beautiful,
they're able to withstand colder overnight temperatures,
making them the perfect plant for the late fall and
even the early winter.
Chrysanthemums are a great flower choice for this time of
year if you're looking for a vegetable to keep in
your garden.
Spinach is one of the few vegetables that can survive
temperatures near 28 degrees.
