Berridge Nurseries in Phoenix is getting ready for a visit from chilly weather, possibly freezing, and workers there suggest you do the same. If you choose to leave your plants outside and cover them, you have to make sure the protective layer isn't going to freeze onto them.
"For that situation, we would probably recommend doing some frost clothing or moving plants if they're in pots underneath some patio areas and stuff where they've got some protection over the top," said Mark Pfeil with Berridge Nurseries.
Once that round of winter weather is over, it's time for the second round as scattered snow in the high country and rain in the Phoenix area is likely late Monday and into Tuesday morning. "Sheets or frost cloth," Pfeil suggests. "Anything directly on top is probably not always that good because the cold air is going to sink down to that situation. So if we can tent it, put some stakes in or whatever, that would really be helpful. It kind of creates a dead airspace, and it really helps out with the plants."
