Protect Your Plants By Robert Bosworth
Fruit gardeners should protect plants from cold now by allowing trees vines and berries to harden. Stop growth to accumulate starches and sugars and reduce frost damage. Duck fertilization and heavy pruning until trees are dormant after several frosts. Use wire screens or foil to guard trunks from mice and rabbits. Remove weeds to curb rodent nests. Apply two inch wheat straw mulch around strawberries after dormancy begins to shield from low temperatures.
