I Covered My Veggies During Cold Weather And This Happened! 

On today's 2 minute garden tip, I show you what happened when I covered my cold hardy winter vegetables during a cold snap. Many gardeners fail to cover cold hardy vegetables in cold weather, but is it worth the effort? Are winter crops truly cold tolerant? In this video, I covered my veggies during cold weather and this happened!
While it is true that there are many frost tolerant vegetables that gardeners can grow in winter, not all cold hardy crops are created equal. There is more to cold tolerance than the lowest temperature reached. Whether a plant sustains cold damage depends on the temperatures reached, the duration spent at that temperature, total time below freezing, whether the plants endure repeated freezes or if they have a warm spell in between to recover, etc. This video shows the value of covering plants to keep frost off the surface.
