I am in that frost/freeze warning tonight and yesterday, sitting among my fresh young sprouts, I had a thought.
I will of course be resorting to sheets and newspaper and such to cover everything, but the potato patch is taxing my resources on that score.
I’m about to go to the store to buy garbage bags, the black ones for the big cans.
I’m going to buy the ones that come on a roll, with perforations between the bags. Presto! Customizable black covers for my tater rows. Rocks here and there will hold them in place and tomorrow I’ll gather them back up and store them for their normal use.
Will plastic do these young sprouts (only about four inches for the big ones) any harm over the course of twelve hours?
If you are talking about just over night I don’t think it would not harm the plants.
