So, I bunched together all of the still-alive plants on the balcony floor, because we have a freeze warning up for tonight/tomorrow night. Mild chance tonight but a hard freeze possible Monday night.
sorry, I was just not getting a good photo despite trying like eight times at different angles
The floor of the balcony is pretty fairly sheltered, with a roof overhead, a solid wall on one side, and a half wall on the other two sides. The tomatoes are tall but don't get higher than the half wall when down on the floor.
I was holding it up high trying to get all of the plants in frame but I am short as hell so I couldn't see what I was doing
In the past I would do the plastic bag thing but I don't have any large size bags and most of these are too big for the ones I do have. I figure it's natural tree cycle to face this kinda weather, so mostly I'm worried about the tomatoes and marigolds, and of course, the tomato plants are yuuuuuge. I have a blossom going on one of them right now.
I have a big giant cardboard box that probably won't cover the tomato plants entirely but could get pretty close. However it's raining out right now so it would get wet and possibly soak and freeze and defeat the purpose; same with if I tried a bed sheet. What do you think? Or should I just get my craft project on and cut up the little plastic bags that I do have?
I wonder if I just bunched them up next to the sliding glass door and tipped the chair over them and stacked a bunch of empty pots and such to make like a plant fort if that would be good enough. LOL
Any ideas would be appreciated! Be good, Steemit. <3
