I am in central NC. this is my 2nd year gardening and my first attempt at second season veggies. I've planted broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, winter squash and brussels sprouts. Will i need to set up row covers for frost protection for these? I don't want to get caught at the last minute if we get a frost in late Oct'r early Nov'r.

Winter squash are very frost sensitive. They will need protection.
How windy is your area? Make sure that the row covers won't blow away.

| From some of the other post. I would have something in place to protect your veggies. Frost my be the least of your worries, if some others are already getting snow. But we live in LA and snow is like a 7 yr event here.

| Got an ad a couple weeks ago from Johnnies that they are now selling a "bending" device for bending metal electrical conduit to attach the row covers to. They also sell all weights of the covers as well as "greenhouse" type covers for those of us in the frigid world. By the way, we are expecting "measureable" snow tonight but high 50's on Sunday. ND is nothing if not changeable. Mary Ann
