My channel focuses on sharing my personal journey in growing our garden, farm and food forest to achieve a sustainable lifestyle. I have a passion for growing organic food and living off the land. I share monthly garden and food forest tours, recipes, and gardening tips. Please like, share and subscribe if you would like to watch my farm and garden grow through each season. Hopefully you will learn something along the way! I’m not an expert so if you think of something I could be doing better please share so I can become a better gardener:) My goal is to inspire you to get outdoors and enjoy some Southern Dirt and Sunshine!

Frost cloth and old sheets are recommended for protecting plants from frost. Never allow bed sheets to lay on your plants or its possible they’ll get frost bite. Use some type of tent system that will keep the sheets off the plants. Plastic is not recommended for covering your plants.

There's a material called Frostcloth, you can drape that directly on your plants without fear of the material damaging the leaves (for the most part). It's hard to get in winter so shop for it in spring or summer. I've also noticed citrus trees wrapped in christmas lights works great for mainiting heat too.
