Frost Preparation
13 Answers
Winter will soon be upon us, which means the weather is going to get colder and wetter. Frost damage can affect many plants and be a real nuisance in the garden. Ground temperatures can fall below freezing point and damage roots, whilst freezing air temperatures can affect the stems, leaves and flowers of plants.
Because of the harsh winter weather, it’s important to make preparations now.
If you have any Spring bulbs, it’s important to plant them now before the frost hits. Young plants can be more susceptible to frost damage, so to help them out, it’s wise to cover them with a frost fleece. Larger plants that are used to hotter climates such as olive trees could do with a frost fleece as well.
Do you have any special plants or trees that you like to protect over the winter?

Strangely up here in Teesdale the sedums tolerate all temperatures without protection. My Hydrangeas took a hit this spring, even the ones supposedly that tolerated temperatures down to minus 15. Would you suggest pruning at the end of flowering and wrapping, or wait until Jan/Feb then protect the new buds?
