It's Gonna Frost Again - No Worries!

Spring came in at the speed of light and we've been getting almost comfortable with it as each day passes without a hard freeze. We've had a couple of nights with light frosts, but so far no damage. Part of that is due to my use of FreezePruf™ on some of my more tender plants.

I received a bottle of FreezePruf™ (made by the Liquid Fence® people) to test last fall, but we'd already entered the period of regular nightly frosts, so I saved it to try this spring.  How does FreezePruf™ work?

Without going into technical data and biological jargon, you spray it on the foliage of your plants, ideally when the temperatures are above 50° and eight hours before the frost is due to arrive, and it will protect your plants from damage by 9.4°.  That means they should survive temperatures down to 23°, depending on the plant.  Once treated, the protection can last up to six weeks, although you should spray any new growth after the first application.

Last night, we were under a frost/freeze warning and the same is forecast for tonight.  I'll admit, I did cover my tree peonies, which are in full bud, only because it was easy to do so.  But with a garden the size of ours, it's virtually impossible to cover everything that might get nipped by the frost.

I sprayed FreezePruf™ before the last frost more than a week ago and nothing that was left uncovered suffered a bit of damage.  We got down to 28° that time.  Last night, the thermometer dipped to 29° and once again, no damage.

With FreezePruf™ providing protection for so long after application, this is really an economical way to save your plants from damage without having to cover things every night and making it look like the blanket fairy threw up on your yard. No more panicking over late frosts! Even better - it's non-toxic.
