Gilbertie says plants that look like they might not hold up to cooling temperatures should be covered with a fabric sheet, not a plastic one as it can damage the tissue of the plant.
Carrie Gilbertie, the manager of Gilbertie’s Herbs and Garden Center, says people have to take extra precautions with what they plant."Thirty-seven degrees is when frost can set in, the ground is still colder than the air," Gilbertie said, "Right now, what should be in the ground are your lettuces, your kale, your spinaches, your parsley, your rosemary.""It actually gets the sugars going in these particular crops making them taste even better," said Gilbertie.
Gilbertie says tomatoes and other plants alike are the ones to hold off on until the temperatures are right. "The ground is just not warm enough, so your plant is just sitting there," Gilbertie said. "Tomatoes, peppers, zucchinis and squash, eggplants, and things are very tender.""Impactions, petunias, things like that; the more tender they are the easier it will be to damage them in cold weather," said Gilbertie.She says May 15 is their frost-free date and a safer bet to go all in after then.
