Cold warning for plants and early garden cover advised
Clemson Extension agent Allen Bayles urges gardeners to cover elevated plants tonight with crates or plastic weighted by bricks as lows drop to the low 30s. He notes wind may aid crops like peaches by preventing air pockets and stresses that duration of cold matters more than single readings. Planting is planned after Good Friday within two weeks, aligning with South Carolina timing.
