Protecting Your Landscape From Spring Frost

Spring in Pittsburgh can be temperamental. Jackets in the morning and shorts in the afternoon are not an uncommon sight during the spring months. Unfortunately, your landscaping can be affected by this type of weather, particularly for those who are eager to get a head-start on planting. Overnight frost can happen even during the spring months, so it is important to know the measures to take should that occur:

If you have an area that can serve as a “greenhouse” until the weather is warmer, consider using that area. Planting in small pots and transferring them when the weather is more suited for them to thrive is always your best choice. It may be tempting to start planting outside early when those first few warm days of spring arrive, but remember that it may not be the end of those cold nights!
