Since my herbs are all in pots along the fence, I thought I could try a tent-like green house made of two clear shower curtain liners. The liners are inexpensive and come with handy holes at the top! I thought this might be easier than dealing with a plant blanket. I had a set of shower curtain hangers (because I am using a pretty snowy tree scene shower curtain as my Zoom backdrop which came with rings), and those hooked into my wire fence easily. I hung one curtain on each side and weighted the bottom with rocks and brick. I’m hoping this will keep my basil alive for a little longer through the cold snaps. The oregano and peas (or should I say pea) did fine without much protection last winter, but the basil turned black at the first breath of cold.

P.S. the first freeze froze all the plants, even with the cover. Back to the drawing board!
