BRRR! The weather in North Florida has been hormonal!!!
Looks like we have a few more chilly nights left before spring comes to North Florida. If you have young or tender plants that you want to protect from the light frosts predicted for this area, check out this nifty idea.
All you need is an old fitted sheet and a few sticks taller than your plants. Poke the sticks into the ground at a level higher than your tallest plants and stretch the sheet over the bed.
The sticks keep the sheet off your plants, and the fitted sheet helps to hold the edges down. This is great idea from the owners of the Florida raised beds seen on this site.
Easy to install, easy to remove.
If you can place the sheets in the afternoon, it will give the sun a chance to warm the trapped air, giving the plants a bit more frost protection.
Who’s ready for spring?

Great idea. Looks like it does the job nicely. 😊
Yes. 🙂
Smart idea! I made an awkward teepee out of some garden stakes and two beach towels. It did the job, but it sure looked weird! Hopefully this cold weather goes away soon 🙂
Also, I wanted to let you know I nominated your blog for a Liebster Award! You don’t have to participate, but if you want to, you can find out more about the whole shebang over at my blog.

That’s sweet of you. Thanks!
That is a great idea! So simple sticks + usually near by the growing bed:-)
Often simplest is best!
