Freak snow plant protection

A lot of people may be experiencing this late snow and freeze this weekend. I had some things growing already. Trees were in bloom. bushes were sprouting. Herbs were coming back and I had some things I had grown from seed and planted out. Fennel, mustard, and a few other herbs.

So yesterday I went out with some wood shavings and covered all the plants. Then my son went around with pots and put a pot on top of each plant with a rock to hold it down in the wind. Fascinated to see if it helped these things live.

What did anyone else do?

I just cut and pasted some info about plants and snow.

Snow on the winter vegetable garden does not mean the end of harvest. Snow will insulate winter crops from freezing temperatures and protect them until harvest. A killing frost or freeze will do more damage to winter vegetables than snow.

Carrots, turnips, Brussels sprouts, and cabbage, chard, and head lettuce can be harvested from under a blanket of snow. Scallions and fall leeks to the size of scallions can be harvested from under snow. Onions can remain in the garden under snow if a protective layer of mulch lies in between. Parsnips and Brussels sprouts will taste sweeter after being covered by snow.
