Freeze Alert!

Snow flakes
There is a freeze warning for the Tucson area for  
tonight through Thursday morning.  
Be sure you cover your plants!
  • Cover tender annuals and perennials 
    • Do not use towels or plastic. 
    • Plastic conducts the cold
    • towels hold in the moisture which will then freeze
  • Use Clothespins or rocks to tie down the frost cloths. 
  • Keep plants covered at least until Thursday mid-morning. 
  • Double check the forecast for Thursday night to see if it is ok to uncover.
  • Cover newly planted tender plants.
  • Citrus, tender annuals such as geraniums, euphorbias
  • Agaves and tropical plants.

email Catherine or me 
and we will try to help.
