Love your channel! Instead of using the string try keeping some wooden spring clothespins handy for a quick clip to close up the frost blankets! You can usually get them at the dollar store, we always keep them on hand for all kinds of things closing our chip bags, pet food bags, etc.

I live in Illinois and have found very thick and easy to install protective covers for my hydrangea on Amazon. Several different sizes to, choose from. They fold flat for easy storage. I’m excited to see if my hydrangeas bloom this year. I’ve not had blooms in 3 years and finally had an abundance of buds form last fall so I could not risk having beautiful blooms this year. Love your channel and your dog 🐶❤️😊

Yuliya, I'm glad you didn't use plastic like so many people. They do more damage than good. Is that material that you used impervious to rain because if it gets wet it can freeze. I cover my plants with a old blankets or old sheets then cover with plastic so in case it rains it will not get heavy from being wet and doing damage to the plants. I've also used inexpensive table covers that are line with I believe cotton on the underside and usually they have a decorated pattern on top made of plastic this works well to keep rain out off the plants. Let me know what you think.
@greatgardensforall3 жыл бұрын
Yes! plastic is to be avoided. These let some air and moisture in and out so they breath.

I can’t believe you don’t usually cover these...I’m also in zone 6 and the hard freeze always gets those buds. But I also think a few of my plants are the non-hardy supermarket type (they were given to me but I’m pretty sure). This winter we built a cage around them and covered that. I’m really hoping I’ll get blooms this year. If not, they’re gone and maybe I’ll try one of those “reblooming” types.
