Brrrr!
Freezing temperatures and my propensity
for forcing bulbs, indoors & out…led me to this!
The garden cuff...
burlap garden cuff.
I picked up some small burlap bags at my local
feed store. They are only a buck or so, a bag and
the perfect size for this little garden project.
Small pots of hyacinth, topped with fresh moss are
nestled inside. This urn is under cover, mostly,
and sits on a hammered copper table by
our front door. I also planted a
few white hyacinths in our
white galvanized pots, which rest right up against the house.
These are sans burlap bags and so far, so good.
But at night, with the freezing temperatures…
I worry about these little guys.
So now, I simply roll up and cinch the cuff closed to
protect the tender bulbs from the frost.
So far…the burlap garden cuff is doing the job.
Have a beautiful Monday,
What a brilliant idea. Still much to cold to do anything like that here, but I am holding out hope than one day I will reside, more or less permanently, in a more forgiving agricultural zone.
All best,
Phyllis
Thank you Phyllis! You are SO sweet! Seattle is nice :) Doesn’t rain as much as you might think! We just tell people that!
