You are welcome! We are always happy when our northern experiences aid even more southern growers! This method should help, since it’ll create a beneficial and slightly warmer microclimate.

Good luck surviving the upcoming arctic blast! We’re hopeful that you don’t see too much plant damage!

The insights you provided allowed us to go ahead and cover some plants (with clear plastic bags) that historically suffered single digit temps. winter burn. A few other considerations will be accounted for in our “experiment”.

Temporary for a few days-Yes, hoping 2025 growing season is normal.

Thanks.

Thanks for the kind feedback! That’s great you’ve been able to keep things going so late in the season! We previously lived in Missoula and really do miss the more favorable climate compared to our current subarctic efforts! If you think of it, we’d love to hear your feedback after giving the method a try! Good luck next season and have fun!

Excellent! That is fantastic to hear, glad you were able to make it work. It really surprised us that a method so “simple and silly” might make a difference, but indeed it does. Thanks for trying it out and reporting your results, we truly appreciate it!
