It is important to protect vegetables from the cold which is predicted for the next few nights. Frost is forecast, and it looks as though we will have some seriously cold temperatures over the next few nights.
Young seedlings are tender, and vulnerable to the frost. At worst, they will be killed. Otherwise the frost will damage their cells, slow down their growth, and reduce their potential. Frosted vegetable plants will not yield so much. Return on effort is one of TopVeg’s guiding principles - so do not allow the frost to affect potential yield, & reduce the return on all the effort put in so far.
Protect the plants from the cold temperatures by covering them over.
Hopefully we will be frost free for the next few months. But cold nights really set the plants back - so it is worth taking the time to 'tuck them up'!
