So we have a predicted low of 1C, Monday, 4C Tuesday and 2C Wednesday. But as you know living in a frost pocket I expect lower, quite a bit lower.
So we have been preparing, both the Paulowina's growing tips of which there are a few, I usually let them grow until I decide the direction I want them to go.
These would be easily frosted.
Canna and Colocasia (Elephant Ears) all covered, under the frame on the right which is wrapped in fleece is a Solonum laciniatum.
As you can see I have covers dotted round the garden.
Under this tarpaulin, is the Gunnera,
My Washingtonia filifera's and Cyathea are under the blue tarp. I would put them back in the greenhouse but there is no room!!!
I'm sure the arid bed will be fine I am just being cautious.
The Trex, my lovely neighbour loaned me these fleece bags.
I expect, nothing will come of the frost, but I would be devestated if all the growing tips where damaged and set back the plants, especially after they have had such a good start.
We will have to see.
