Tender plants have soft, succulent tissues and are easily damaged or killed by freezing temperatures (unless protected). Examples of tender plants include summer garden crops like tomatoes, basil, cucumber, squash, peppers, and eggplant along with tropical fruit trees (citrus, mango, banana, avocados), succulents, most annual flowers, and common houseplants. Young sprouts and seedlings are also considered tender, even if they’ll grow up to be cold-tolerant plants (such as broccoli or cabbage seedlings). In addition to physically covering garden beds and plants to protect them during a frost or freeze warning (which we’ll cover next), there are a number of easy ways to proactively prepare your garden plants for frost too. Now let’s explore 7 effective ways to protect your garden from frost, including hoops and frost cloth, plastic poly tunnels, cloches, cold frames, sheltered planting locations, mulch, and watering practices. I’ve included a few tips for protecting potted plants from frost too! When overwintering pot and balcony plants, it is important to remember that overwintering them too warmly harms many pot plants. Therefore, find out for each plant what overwintering conditions it needs.

Overwintering tender plants: wrapping - RHS Gardening

When it comes to frost protection for plants, there are two options: either move delicate specimens into a sheltered spot, or protect plants where they’re growing. Here's how you can safeguard your garden plants and crops during winter. In general, hardy plants can survive outside in winter while tender ones won't. But it's not quite as simple as that because the temperature in cities is higher than in the countryside, and the north of the UK is colder than the south. If in doubt, err on the side of caution and protect your plants.

Please note that given the current circumstances alot of carrier companies are struggling to keep up with demand and although we do book these deliveries as next day services, the carriers cannot always fulfil these and an extra day may be required. When frost is looming, water earlier during the day. This gives the plants ample time to absorb water and get perky for the cool evening ahead. Keep in mind that damp soil is good, but overly soggy soil could actually make the problem worse. That also goes for any time in the garden!To meet the functional requirements of Appendix C of our Technical Manual, minimum working temperatures should never fall below 2°C when working with masonry. It is imperative that regular temperature readings are taking when working during cold weather periods.
