With the extremely cold temperatures of a polar air mass arriving in Georgia this week, one method of protecting low-growing plants or nursery stock is with evergreen boughs.
- clip off branches from discarded
Christmas trees (plentiful this week)
- lay over the tops of low-growing perennials, annual beds, nursery flats or
pots
- bury the whole area in fallen leaves
(Do not cover with plastic,
because direct sun hitting the plastic the next morning can steam-cook the plants.)
