Row Covers in the Wind



Classic March in Virginia.

Days of pleasant spring weather, Cool Flowers starts getting their grove on. Growing, yawning, stretching to the sun and then…

Boom, the bottom falls out on temps and the blistering wind hasn’t stopped for days now blowing in the cold.

Vulnerable crops are double covered for added protection. What makes them vulnerable? Either have buds or the vegetation has right good size or they are newly planted and not established yet.

Pain in the neck to double cover—but it worked. Even though the sweet peas took a hit, it looks the rest came through unscathed.

Smooth sailing next 14 days🤞.

Incidentally, Agrostemma and Bachelor Buttons full height, no cover, wind-whipped with buds—no harm visible. 😄
