Topic: losses due to weather

Cynthia reported losses of potted specimens during a three-day hard
freeze. I don't grow the same kinds of plants as she does (many
subtropical), but I was able to protect similarly marginal potted
bulbous plants during the same sort of cold snaps by setting the pots on
the pavement of my covered patio and wrapping them in sheets of
microfoam (a frost blanket available from nursery supply outlets). The
mover's quilts sold at hardware stores also work well, though they are
heavier and can flatten plants in growth.
