Friday the low is 31 degrees. Should I bring my potted plants inside?

Or will they be ok? I just planted them two weeks ago, they just started to sprout. Asters, lettuce, sunflowers, other flowers.

If you have a small number of potted plants, and this is manageable for you, then I'd bring them to somewhere more sheltered, such as inside, in a shed, the garage etc.





Otherwise, you could help them with some protection. I use plastic bottles, cut in half, and positioned over plants, which provides a good few degrees protection. Otherwise, you can get gardening 'fleece', which you drape over plants, and this will help protect plants too - if it's ever really cold, you can always have both of these! Newspaper can work too, as long as it's not wet, and is secured from flying away in the wind. If you have any left-over card board boxes, these can work in the same way, all keeping the cold out.





Hope these tips help protect them. Good luck! Rob
Reply:The sunflowers should be ok (if they are protect from any howling winds) but the lettuce will die.


The other flowers should be ok, if they are protected





Try padding, pad the pots and put cling film over the top
Reply:You can cover them over, with sheet plastic or trash bags...weighted down with stones. If it is just a couple of plants, just put a pot upside down over them.
Reply:The lettuce is hardy and will be fine, but the rest are tender plants and will be killed by the frost.
Reply:if in pots , I would. They probably be ok. If you just covered with a paper cone they would be fine. Good luck. Nature tests us all the time
