The past few days have been really cold here in the valley. Just in time for the frost, I purchased my frost blankets for the raised gareden beds. I found mine at Lowes.
Next step for me is to design a system that will allow me to hang this frost cloth over the plants with ease. It takes the fun out of things when hanging the frost cloth takes hours, lol
I will post some of my trial ideas for the frost cloth frame soon.
One other thing to say, remember that you can always use a bed sheet to cover plants and smaller trees if needed. I went to the Goodwill and purchased a few king size bed sheets for some of our more frost tender plants.
Follow along with me as I create and maintain organic raised garden beds and landscape in the extreme and unforgiving Arizona desert! Learn, share and ask questions. Together this garden blog will provide valuable knowledge of working organic principals to create your own mini ecosystem. Let's make the garden the first place you want to go and the last place you want to leave!
