#FrostProtection on TikTok: Guides, tips, and hacks for safeguarding plants. Covers mulching, covers, heaters, and DIY solutions. Watch for spring freezes! Prevent damage and save your garden.
Some of you have asked what I’m growing in my low tunnels covering the raised beds in my garden, so I’ve decided to share a series of posts documenting my garden’s progress since I started it back in September of last year. Since then, the temperatures have ranged from a high of 97F to a low of 10F. By selecting the right plants, providing adequate frost protection, and timing my plantings carefully, I’ve been able to enjoy fresh produce throughout the past several months. Now, as we enter the latter half of winter, my garden remains well-stocked with vegetables—thanks to lessons learned from previous seasons. It has been a highly successful winter of gardening, and I’m excited to share the details with you in the upcoming posts! #growyourownfood #homegrown #homestead  #wintergarden #lowtunnel #frostprotection #caterpillartunnel #quickhoops #rowcovers #frostcloth #frostblanket #gardenhacks #atlantagardener #georgiagardener #organicgardener #instagardener #gardensofinstagram #instagarden #hoopbender #emthoops  #farmlife #farmhack
This is the first in a series that shares how I garden through the cooler seasons. Preparation for fall and winter gardening began last September. The raised beds were drained from all the heavy production in the spring and summer months. I didn’t have enough homemade compost to replenish the beds with so I turned to my local supplier of quality compost, @soil3official . I’ve been using Soil3’s Veggie Mix in my raised beds for the past several years. I’m often asked if I have good results with it. My answer is an overwhelming YES! Soil3 Veggie Mix has consistently produced great results for me across all growing seasons and I can’t wait to share more about what it has done for my garden this fall/winter season in upcoming videos. Once the beds were refilled with Soil3 Veggie Mix, I planted two successions of cool season vegetables. The first planting was meant for fall harvest while the second planting was meant for harvest through the winter season. This year, from the time of the first planting, I had about 10 weeks before first frost hit. With the help of Soil3, everything planted for the fall season grew quickly and was ready to be harvested before first frost. In the next video, I’ll discuss why this fast growth fueled by well-fed soil is so critical to success with winter gardening. #soil3 #compost #organiccompost #growyourownfood #homegrown #homestead  #wintergarden #lowtunnel #frostprotection #caterpillartunnel #quickhoops #rowcovers #frostcloth #frostblanket #gardenhacks #atlantagardener #georgiagardener #organicgardener #instagardener #gardensofinstagram #instagarden #hoopbender #emthoops  #farmlife #farmhack

Understanding the Persephone Period: A Key Factor in Winter Gardening One of the most critical yet often overlooked aspects of winter gardening is the Persephone Period—the time when your garden receives fewer than 10 hours of daylight per day. The term was coined by Eliot Coleman, drawing from the Greek myth of Persephone, who spent part of each year in the underworld, symbolizing the dormancy of plant growth in winter. Why Persephone Period Matters Plants rely on photosynthesis to generate the energy required for growth. When daylight hours drop below 10 per day, light intensity and duration become insufficient to sustain active growth. While many cold-hardy crops can survive through winter, their ability to produce new leaves or increase in size is significantly reduced. How to Determine the Persephone Period in Your Region The timing of the Persephone Period varies by latitude. A simple way to determine when it occurs in your location is to check the U.S. Naval Observatory's daylight duration tables (http://aa.us.no.navy.mil/data/Dur_OneYear), which provide daily records of total daylight hours for any given year and location. For example, here in Atlanta, GA, the data shows that the Persephone Period starts on Dec 6 and ends on Jan 4. How to Garden Around the Persephone Period Since plant growth slows drastically during the Persephone Period, timing is the key to a productive winter garden. Crops should be nearly mature before the Persephone Period begins, allowing for continued harvest throughout winter. While row covers and cold frames can help maintain plant health, they cannot compensate for the lack of daylight-driven growth. By planning your plantings around the Persephone Period, you can maximize your winter harvest and maintain a productive garden year-round. #WinterGardening #PersephonePeriod #EliotColeman #SeasonExtension #GardeningScience #growyourownfood #homegrown #homestead  #wintergarden #lowtunnel #frostprotection #rowcovers #frostcloth #frostblanket #gardenhacks #gardentips #atlantagardener #georgiagardener #organicgardener #instagardener #gardensofinstagram #instagarden #farmlife #farmhacks
