1 Comment To "Should I Water My Cauliflower and Broccoli Plants Tonight Before I Cover Them As We Have Frost For Tonight"

Watering plants before a freeze helps them stay warm. Dry roots are more susceptible to frost. Broccoli can take a light freeze, but below 28 degrees F (-2 C) can cause damage.
Although a cool season vegetable, cauliflower is frost sensitive, too, and should be covered when frost is expected.
