Protecting Vegetables From 

 Early Frost 



MATTING, bagging, old rugs or any similar 

 material will be found useful for protecting 

 the vegetable garden from first frosts. Early 

 frosts seldom penetrate ordinary covering material, 

 and there is often a long season of mild weather 

 after the first few frosty nights. Plants that are 

 tender and easily broken, such as beans on trellises, 

 may be protected with the bagging, which can be 

 easily pieced together or fastened by means of 

 common wood toothpicks. Lower growing plants, 

 of a stronger type, are quickly covered with old 

 rugs. In the case of single plants or hills, a stake 

 can be driven near the centre, to hold up the weight 

 of the covering and allow for a little air to circulate. 

 The same idea may be applied to a continuous 

 row of vegetables by setting up a row of stakes about 

 six feet apart, and stretching between them any 

 sort of old wire, such as the kind that comes around 

 bales of hay. Carpet put over these makes a tent- 

 shaped covering. Plants that are easily crushed 

 should have the covering suspended on two parallel 

 wires, so as to better protect the foliage and allow 

 for more air under the covering. 



If time and material are at hand portable frames 

 might be made of four old pickets with a square 

 yard of matting. They are easily stored and are 

 also useful for summer protection. The picket 

 points may be driven into the ground at any 

 place where it is desirable to protect transplanted 

 seedlings or other plants from sun, wind, heat or 

 driving rain. 



Tall baskets, such as are used for produce, make 

 good covers for single plants and even peach baskets 

 as well as bottomless baskets and boxes will keep 



An old rug, spread open at the ground to give air.
