I might need to do that to my plants

Ok cool

Did it survive spring 2024?

[@PGTV101]

Yes it did but I unwrapped it to early and the cold weather beat it for a week and dry it out .

Great tip. I too am in zone 7 and in 2022 my plant produced a few pods. However, I brought it in the house to overwinter. I took it back out at the end of April 2023 and it produced a bunch of pods. And once again I overwintered it in the house. This is a pain as I grow them in 5 gal buckets and are quite heavy. Now that I see your method I will be trying it. Please let us know if your method saved your lovely plants. Stay well

Good idea, Planter but you should also add a frost clothe or toss blankets over it, then plastic when the frost comes. Take care and keep us up to date with the progress. Take care
