OUR PLANTS ARE GONNA FREEZE! | Can We Save Them?!

- Опубликовано: 5 окт 2024
- Our first frost is here a month earlier than normal, and we're not prepared to lose many of our warm-season plants that are still producing. Can we save them? Well, maybe not all of them -- but we'll try to save as many as we can.
Join us as we show you how we plan on protecting our backyard garden plants from the oncoming frost. We'll be using a variety of techniques including frost protection cover, running a sprinkler all night, and crossing our fingers. 😂
We'll also provide an update on our raised bed garden and try to determine why our transplants are doing so well but our direct-seeded plants aren't. We think it had something to do with a really hard rain we had right after planting, but not 100% sure on that.

I hope you can save most of your tender crops.
Outside Atlanta I’ve grown cilantro all winter without any covering. Parsley too.
will be checking back to see what made it , good luck
👍👍👍
The garden looks beautiful. Fingers crossed that everything makes it!
I planted parsnips for the first time this year when I planted my carrots. No germination on the parsnips... Carrots popped up just fine but somewhere something went wrong with the parsnips.
They can take quite a while to germinate. Some of mine are finally popping.
We crossed our fingers hard. Luckily the wind blew and the frost didn't settle on anything. Had no real issues.
Good news!
I lost my bush beans and my rattlesnake pole beans got burned but are trying to comeback. My Basil and peppers got burned but are still producing. I feel your pain. Hope you don't lose too much.
Good vid!
Thanks!
No frost here in the panhandle of Florida.
I made a video on making your own hoops using brace wire from Tractor Suppy. it really cuts down on the cost, and you can make them any size you like.
Thanks for the tip!
How about the 8" x10' 2 wire mesh from Lowes it's like $5.88 guess that could work too cut it in half.
@@hardstylzz5024 Making them from brace wire is much cheaper.
@@gardeningsimplified see that TC has 171' 9 gauge brace wire for $25 might try this on my 15 young citrus 🍊 Satsumas I planted 2 months ago make a cage for the freeze protection.
We had a wild frost last week. Only had to worry about potatoes. Just hilled them up extra high, made sure to water them well, and threw a blanket over them. Worked well. In fact, it seemed to help them as they are growing better now than before the frost.
Nice to hear!
I have made several good support hoops out of cattle panels very inexpensive to do, and it’ll cover a very long roW
I woke up at 4:00 am and hosed down all the tender vegetables…. They all did well.
Good call!
The only plants I covered here in Athens was pineapples and plumeria. The bananas ,squash, sweet potatoes and potatoes got burnt a little but peppers, okree and a few rouge tomatoes did fine. I wanted to see what could handle the light frost and the micro climates around the yard.
Love your shirt, been there many times. Very close to home.
One of our favorite places!
What I've done in the past to protect small plants like peppers is to take those 1-gallon black pots that plants are sold in and turn them upside down over them. I've plugged the drain holes with different things if it was going to get super cold. At least one of your peppers would have been too big for a 1-gallon pot. I've even taken 33-gallon garbage cans and turned them over on small citrus trees.
Good luck with the cold. We'll see how it turns out. Hopefully, you can save the last of your warm season crops. I have my lettuce under a hinged double hoop house. (I have a video on this) Even if it gets down to 34 like they are calling for, it will be just fine. I have had lettuce survive my -15 F Chicago winters with that protection.
Travis we had 29-30 degrees plus heavy frost. I got up around 4 am I started sprinkler at that when I saw temperature was headed towards freezing. I did save most. However lost zucchini, crookneck squash, watermelons, and blackberries(fruit). All other cool weather crops still showed frost burn. Having tall beds might hurt you! Best wishes to you!
Your row cover looks great! (It’s not a fashion show.) I hope you survived the frost well, if it actually came. (Hope it didn’t.)
Fingers crossed. It all works out. Good ideas for battling the frost.
Thanks Leah!
I hope things went well Travis! As a northern gardener all of what you are doing is exactly what I deal with in both spring and fall. In my garden shed I keep about 60 old sheets and blankets just for days like this. I’ve found that the water trick does work, but the plants are slowed considerably.
Yeah the sprinkler trick isn't foolproof, but it works for things that can't be covered.
This video could have been shot at my garden in the fact that 1- the first frost always seems to sneak up on me 2- I am never fully prepared with supplies to make proper coverings 3- I am always running around like a crazy person trying to get everything protected at the exact time that I have other plans and don't really have the time to be gathering supplies and rigging something up!
Thank you for another excellent video. There are no links in the FROST PROTECTION HOOPS: and the FROST PROTECTION COVER in the description box.
Check again. They just magically appeared. lol
@@LazyDogFarm Thank you!
Good luck to you! Thanks for sharing your thoughts on how you deal with unexpected frost. Cheers!
I'm in sw Missouri and this happens to us every year. I keep a basket of old sheets to cover my plants. I also have to use sheets in the spring. We have been known to have all four c seasons including tornados in a 24 hour period.
I heard on the radio the other day that Nebraska was 17 one day and then 80 the next.
Freeze got my late tomatoes and cucumbers. Deer got my okra and beans. 😢 oh well, next year.
Sorry to hear that. It's deer season now though!
Same here in Central Louisiana last week, think it was around 34°, my broccoli done great heads are about the size of softballs, burnt some leaves on the okra, and tomatoes only where the sheet was touching the leaves. Way early for a frost here in October, weather has been crazy this year for us!! ✌🏻
Old timers used smudge pots.
the frost we got for 4 days didn't harm my potatoes:)
Now i dont feel so bad. I had zucchini cranking and should have had plenty until Halloween but 3 days of hard frost early October zapped them.
Crazy weather this fall. Can't ever remember a frost this early down here.
I didn’t have anything hurt even tomatoes right up the road from you .
So glad everything faired better than expected and your hard work paid off!! Thanks so much for sharing!!
That same cold front hit Charleston last week, but it only got down to 38-39 degrees where I'm at, so everything survived no problem (Covered Nothing). Now we've been back highs around 80 degrees the last few days.
We got back in the 80s pretty quickly too. Could use some rain.
Here in Ohio my parsnips take over 3 weeks to germinate.
Hope your plants survive....😊
We’ve had two frosts here in NW Oklahoma mid-October that got our second crop of summer squash & okra. After fighting the pests all summer long, craziness! God gave us quite an abundance in spite of the battles with nature. We are so thankful💗. Our carrots, rutabaga, cabbage & beets are all doing good but we are still battling the vicious voracious cucumber beetles!! They have eaten/damaged just about everything including all the herbs. It would be awesome if someone could share how they won this battle?? We have already tried DE, garlic & chilies, insecticidal soap. Any other ideas to remain organic??
We use a product called Azera. It's organic, but it's not cheap. Works very well though.
Here in Northern Missouri on September 20th it hit 100 degrees.... On September 28th we had 37 degrees and first frost in the low areas. Our first frost average is October 15th. On October 8th it got down to 25 degrees. I had planted some fall sweet corn and needed until the 15th to mature. So I was uneasy with a 25 degree morning. I used overhead sprinklers around 10pm and was going to do it again at 1am... Got up out of bed, went outside and turned on the water to sprinkle... NO WATER!... the line was already frozen. So I just crossed my fingers. Well, the corn didn't seem to be hurt at all. Ended up with a good crop and froze 42 packages of corn kernels on October 11th. My peppers got hit a little, but was able to pick a lot of Brazillian and Santa Fe Grande for hot sauce. (I had a bizzilian Brazillian peppers 😀).
Allen, here in Callaway County MO., it's been getting in the low 30's for a couple of weeks now. I also tried the sprinkler method, even set everything up on a timer but when I checked on it at 3AM, everything had already froze solid. I lost bumper crop of late cantaloupes and squash. Using the heavy weight roll cover allowed me to pick some late green beans though. Mother nature always wins!
Glad that corn survived. I can only imagine how nervous you were.
Oh man that's terrible. Good luck. Here in N.Y we've had some nights of light frost but not a hard freeze yet for I'm still getting some cherry tomatoes.
Did the peas make it
Thankfully, they did!
Frost and freeze got me early. Everything you talked about happened here. I got collards and carrots and lettuce running down the driveway. Storm built on us 2 days after planting and dumped 3 inches in 2 hrs.
Good to know I wasn't crazy thinking my seeds were displaced. lol
@@LazyDogFarm Nah. I was furious the day of. No rain in weeks. Then when I saw sprouts of my Fall garden scattered like the seeds of my youth, It went downhill from there. Drought ensued. 2.81 inches in 8 weeks and all in one rain.
Did the freeze get ya? It got low here, but everything did fine.
Not too bad. Had a little burn, but nothing died.
we got down in the teens. no saving anything at that temp. good luck
Well that stinks!
So disappointing, we had three straight nights of frost a week ago…weeks ahead of schedule! I just went out and harvested buckets of peppers and green tomatoes and left the rest to the frost. I wish I had more patience to set up all the frost stuff. Luckily, I had plenty of fall crops ready to fill in the gaps. 😊
About the same here about a week ago - harvested what we could and had to leave the rest. We are also counting on our fall crops to take over. 👌
Sounds like you might have dodged a bullet there, but good to see that you can deal when your hair's on fire. You're growing in so many different formats there, single row, panel trellis, raised beds, that it would be hard to have a single frost mitigation product close at hand. A roll or two of mid-weight Agribon rat-holed in the barn for such an occasion would help you sleep at night. It would be a crying shame to lose those baby limas, black beans, turmeric and peppers.
What is this thing called “frost”? We do not see that very often this way!
How did everything survive?
Well. Much better than expected.
This is the 26th did I miss several videos since the frost/freeze warning?
This video was shot last Wednesday. We usually shoot them at least a few days in advance of when they air, sometimes as much as a week in advance. Takes a day or two to get them edited and uploaded.
@@LazyDogFarm ahh I just wanted to make sure I hadn't missed any. RUclips doesn't always give alerts to channels I follow, I have one channel I thought had shut down their channel because I wasn't getting any alerts on them for almost a year. Hope you guys enjoyed the camping trip 🙂
Interesting video. Good luck to you.
I'm wondering if you might be able to get a couple of garden-hose timers for situations like this?
I could, but I'd have to have quite the manifold at my well to pull that off. I'm usually up late, so I can go out there and turn on the sprinklers.
Set the sprinkler in the back of the ATV,. Maybe it would be high enough.
Cantaloupe exited stage left but that was about all mother nature took. I had to wipe out all the cucumbers myself though as their location turned to prime real estate for my fig trees
Fig trees take priority sometimes!
How come you don't deer or RODENT problems ? just ducks
Our barn cats take care of any rodents. And we're surrounded by a bunch of cotton and peanut fields, so deer don't really get close to our property.
