Anyone planting this weekend?

I bought a bunch of bedding out plants yesterday but now it looks like there's a chance of frost. Problem is if I don't do it this weekend it won't be for at least a week. I wonder if covering them with light poly overnight would work. It's not supposed to go below freezing.

my wife informed me this morning that we're going to by picking stuff up to plant this weekend.... yee ha.


i'm not worried about over night lows in kelowna... starting tonight our lows for the next 4 nights are 7, 9, 8, 6

i think if you put some poly over whatever you plant that should be fine. i know my folks do that with their tomato plants when there is a chance of frost and it works like a charm

FYI: Never use poly or plastic tarps etc if you have concerns regarding overnight frost. Poly will not hold the heat. Use old blankets or towels and you'll be fine.
