Freeze and Frost protection for winter vegetables

To late here !!!

 

Some cool weather veggies can withstand a frost, or even a light snow, without suffering much, if any damage. A couple I've heard about taste BETTER, after a hard freeze!
As far as protection, cold frames work well. You get some insulation from the ground, and you can add some dark painted rocks inside, that will soak up the sun during the day (assuming you get any), then release it at night. I've heard of people using gallon jugs of water, painted black.....but all it's going to take is enough of a freeze, and that jug's split open, and useless. A good rock won't do that to ya!

 

Aloe vera in the garage, Onions covered with a towel, hope they all make it.

 

garlic I covered with hay--beets and spinach I have under plastic, citrus trees in post moved to the green house which has heat lamps and a heater. Satsum orange in the ground covered with blankets but don't know if it will survive

 

Good information for next winter!
