The first frost of winter is on the horizon and with it comes the need to make sure your garden is prepared for those cold nights.
The first thing you'll need to do is check when the first frost is, which can be determined by monitoring the weather forecast over the next few weeks.
You will also get a rough estimate of when the first frost is in your area on the internet or by checking the farmer's almanac.
The water left in your hoses, sprinkler systems, irrigation, and spigots can freeze during the frost, which will expand and potentially crack these systems.
To avoid the steep costs of replacing or fixing these systems, make sure to bleed them to remove any remaining water.
Make sure to bring any tools or hardware inside, especially glass items, as frost can cause them to break or become damaged.
Lastly, the wildlife in your garden will be vulnerable during the frost, so you should try adding heaters to your bird feeders and moving your bee houses indoors.
