Weapons of choice for plants against the upcoming freeze!
**Frost Cloth inventory update!
we have a few 6x20’ packaged rolls for $19.99 and plenty of frost cloth to purchase for $4.25 per ft off a 12’ roll. **
1. Water deeply! (Remember to turn off and drain irrigation lines and hoses!)
2. Mulch! To trap heat in the soil
3. Cover! Frost cloth is best. Be sure all coverings go to the ground and are secured against the wind.

We have lots of great cacti and succulents! The first picture are succulents at Anita’s house that were uncovered during the freeze.

We have one pallet of sod!

Why might it be a good idea to lay sod in the winter?
Answer it’s easier for grass to focus on establishing their root systems which will benefit them during the hot dry summer months.
