Ask your QuestionWhat steps could I take to protect flowers should there be frost in late spring? I can think of the more extreme examples too like the beast in the east. If something like this happened again what could I be doing to prepare flowers for such a scenario? And again just for late spring frost in general? I have plenty of plants in my garden which blossom during the spring and I’m concerned that they’ll endure damage or even die should frost him them unexpectedly.
