You fall-planted the Cool Flowers hardy in your zone, but what additional steps can you take to protect your plants and make sure they overwinter successfully? Join Lisa and Layne as they address some of the most frequently asked questions about winter protection and row covers. They discuss the benefits of using row covers, how to properly secure the covers so they stay put, temperature and weather conditions that warrant row covers being put up or taken down, row cover alternatives, and more. Listen to the podcast and learn the ins and outs of overwintering your Cool Flowers with (or without) row covers!

Thank you Lisa! First year flower farmer here in Maine. I only planted about 1000 flowers this year but one thing I made sure I had was row cover, hoops, ect! I am now putting myself on the back for having most of the begining essentials because now I can focus more on flowers next year!
So much good information!! This is my first year growing cool flowers, and I learned a lot from this podcast!! Thank you Lisa and Layne for sharing your knowledge with us, I LOVE LOVE LOVE this new podcast. 🎉
You answered the questions I had, thank you!
Thank you for all of the detail! I will need it very soon.
So grateful for this new podcast 🙌🏽 so much great information 🌻🌻🌻🌻
OMG thank you so much for this video. I’m in the UK and have just recently planted a lot of my cool flowers in the garden and was wondering how I’d keep them sheltered/warm from the severe weather conditions we get in the North of England. I’ve got plenty of fleece (row cover) and never really used it as I was unsure exactly what to do with it, other than drape it over the plants in the greenhouse when it gets bitterly cold. I’m trying this year to get my plants in the ground over winter to see if I get better and stronger plants than last year as I left them until spring before planting out.
Great information! It's quite an adventure trying to find much of anything garden related in major stores after the end of August. It's all replaced with Christmas stuff!!! Pffftt – well, there is an organic nursery across town that's sure to have row cover. If not, I can always order. 😉
