I’ve been known to go out with a jacket and gloves to cover plants at 9 PM to make sure they don’t freeze. I learned from my dad to do everything you can do to save plants.
Well, I was out on the back patio with a flashlight covering stuff up for our first freeze a few weeks back, so I do it when I have to.
However, If I use row covers, then I won’t have to do anything for a while. If the sun comes out and it warms up, I can uncover them, but they get enough sunshine, air, and rain to save me a lot of effort.
Then, if the forecast get worse and snow is expected I’ll add a layer or two of something like straw or blankets. Then when it warms up, I just roll the row cover up with all the stuff still on it. Then unroll it before sundown.
Overall, though most days, I can just forget it and hibernate indoors where it is warm. I did mention that I like the lazy way of doing stuff on one of the other threads.LOL
