Young plants and frost-sensitive plants need to be protected from extreme cold.
You can cover these plants with frost guard or Hessian, which you can buy at a garden centre, hardware store or nursery. These materials allow air and water through, so it is safe to keep your plants covered until spring.
Saplings can be protected from frost by wrapping straw bundles around the stems.
You can also protect your plants from frost, by not watering in the late afternoon, as the wet ground will make the frost even more severe. It is best to water your garden in the mornings, to allow the excess water to dry during the day.
