Previously, I wrote that every garden writer worth her dirty fingernails was sent a spray bottle of FreezePruf by the folks who make Liquid Fence.

The spray is designed to protect the plant's cell walls from expanding in the cold and breaking down.

I promised I'd try it and report back.

Well, it worked!

I sprayed the annuals and the dahlia in two deck containers and waited for the first frost. That frost arrived last night, and I woke this morning to a silver glaze on the grass and on all my gardens.

But the containers were perfect!

You can see for yourself later today when I post some pictures. I have a crazy day of errands today, so I will download the pictures this evening. Check back!
