Protected: In gardening, this can refer to plants sheltered from harsh weather or pests, often using structures like greenhouses or row covers.
Protecting your plants is like tucking them into bed at night. It’s about giving them a safe and cozy environment to grow in, away from the harsh realities of the outside world. This might mean shielding them from strong winds, heavy rain, scorching sun, or hungry critters.
Think of it like building a little fort for your plants. You might use a greenhouse to keep them warm in the winter, or a row cover to protect them from frost or pests. It’s like giving them a little raincoat and umbrella, or even a bodyguard to keep the bullies away.
Protecting your plants is especially important when they’re young and vulnerable, like seedlings starting out. It’s like taking care of a baby—you want to make sure they’re safe and comfortable so they can grow big and strong. Even for mature plants, a little protection can go a long way in ensuring a bountiful harvest.
