  1. I work at a nursery, running a green house colder and dryer than you think will give you less disease and more hardy plants.

    Thanks for the tips on watering while cold. I can't believe your basil made it

  2. I hope your tomatoes survived. Up here in Fayetteville, AR it was 25F. I may have covered mine wrong. Put plastic buckets with towels around them over the plants. Maybe I should have just put a blanket down. Managed to pick up more plants at the local garden store in Farmington, but will also start the others by seed / direct sow. Have a few plants left that I raised from seed myself.

  3. Thank you! We have an average of 25 frost free days a year where I live (Rocky Mountains). All the help we can get is soooo appreciated for frosts/freezes. Covering and domes are best here, love the watering trick for a lighter freeze. Second year gardener, grateful for your videos.

  4. Jessica this was an interesting and helpful video.I felt like I was right with you. A friend told me once about wetting plants with freezing but I was afraid to try it her cause our weather is crazy. All the perennials, flowering trees and shrubs took a hit from our sudden 2 day snow we got this week. I was at work when all the weather changed and then in the hospital for the last two days. Surprisingly they made it despite that we had previously had several days of 60,70 degrees just prior then sudden cold temps just before that. Don’t know why were getting such crazy weather. We never get snow close to May. It did get my bed of large yellow tulips my dismay. It’s slowly warming up but the weather channel or weather man has really been off their game. Lol your gardens are beautiful and I adore that green house! Thank you so much for sharing. It helped pass the time while in hospital and recuperating. You are my kindred sister. God bless.

  5. Oh my gosh, the look on your face is exactly how I felt 2 days ago in Raleigh, NC…….I brought everything inside to my garage, plants everywhere…… today has been so busy moving babies everywhere, some going back outside for some true sunshine (I do have multiple grow lights in my basement. I’ve learned so much from you, have your ever used Mylar blankets to cover your plants in time of “need” they’re very inexpensive and protect your plants in emergency colder temps….. I’m not sure how many people I’ve told to look at the 10 days forecast, thank you for that advice.

  6. I’ve heard that giving the plants a spray of water can help to save them from an unseasonably late frost. We were taking a autumn garden tour and the farmer had a gorgeous, huge bed of tall zinnias, he said turning on the overhead sprinkler saved them.

  7. I am a barefoot gardener, so I really cannot imagine living somewhere that I could step on something that might kill me (or sting/bite). I guess I will stop complaining about the snow now.. lol

  8. Watching this as we have hit 27° here in NorCal twice in the last week and a few more nights to go, ugh. I was hoping for a good run to Halloween but this whole growing season has been ridiculous. Drought of course, 100°every day through all of June and July, evacuated for wildfire that blotted out the sun from July 27 until Sept 1st, came back home to healthy plants that just stopped producing and by the end of September everything is loaded with fruit that I'd hoped would ripen if I got lucky enough to last to October 31 without freeze. Not lucky. Can I recycle this whole year?

  9. This video helped me so much. I live in south east Georgia and we had a hard freeze last weekend. We covered things and prepared. I list several things. I was a little saddened by this. This video helped me to feel better about gardening. This is my first garden. I am excited.
