Plant Protection in Winter By Mario Villarino
In much of the state our winters are brief with lots of moderate to cool temperatures interrupted by a few killing freezes. If we can take steps to help our plants through those cold snaps we can cheat the hardiness zone a bit in the landscape and keep a vegetable garden going all winter long. There are a number of techniques we can use to help avoid freeze damage to our plants. Here are a few of the more common ones.
Watering: There are two ways that water can help protect plants. First of all plants under drought stress can be more susceptible to cold damage. By watering plants several days or more before cold weather threatens you can relieve stress if they are suffering from drought. Water is also a great “heat sink.” That is, it holds warmth and releases it slowly, more slowly than plant surfaces or air. Watering your plants right before a freeze creates a source of warmth that will slowly lose its heat over the course of a long cold evening.
Another method is to cover the plants. Covering plants is the simplest, most practical way to protect against a frost or freeze. Gardeners head out with sheets, blankets, plastic, rowcovers and anything else that they can get their hands on to wrap up plants for a cold night. Keep in mind however that a blanket doesn’t keep a plant warm, at least not to any significant degree. Blankets keep us warm because our bodies produce heat that the blanket helps hold in. If you wrap up the branches of a small tree or shrub with a blanket you aren’t doing it much good.
The main source of heat for a plant is the soil. On a cold night heat from the soil rises up around the plants. If you use a blanket to trap this heat within the plant’s canopy you can make a very significant difference on a cold night.
When I talk about trapping heat I don’t necessarily mean warm air, just air that is warmer than freezing. If you keep the temperature around plants from dropping below freezing you have accomplished your goal. Even cold soil is actually significantly warmer than freezing and thus a source of “heat” on a cold night.
To cover plants effectively, lay the cover over the plant and allow it to drape down to the soil on all sides. Then secure it with boards, bricks, rocks or soil to hold in the air. This is especially helpful in preventing a breeze from cooling things down faster. The next day, remove the covers to allow the sun to warm the soil surface a little and then replace the covers as the sun goes down. For more information on this or any other agricultural topic please contact the Hopkins County Extension Office at 903-885-3443 or email me at [email protected].
Off to a Healthy Start By Johanna Hicks
You have probably heard, “New Year, New You.” I, for one, prefer being myself, but there are some improvements that can be made. The start of the new year is the perfect time to establish new goals, habits, and a healthy lifestyle. Teas A&M AgriLife Extension Service recommends starting this year off on the right foot by getting active and eating right!
Lack of time or a busy life doesn’t have to stand in the way of healthy habits. According to Extension’s “Walk Across Texas” program, 30 minutes a day is all it takes to start the journey of improving your health. Physical activities that increase your heart rate and get you moving can range anywhere from moderate to vigorous, depending on the level of intensity you want to achieve. Everyday activities such as cleaning, gardening, taking the stairs, or even raking the leaves counts as exercise. Additional exercises include:
- Walking
- Mowing the lawn
- Water aerobics
- Biking on level ground
- Running or jogging
- Swimming laps
- Shooting basketball hoops with the kids
Besides aiding in weight loss, exercising regularly can increase energy levels and strength, and reduce stress. In addition to helping you feel better overall, physical activity has also been proven to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke, while helping to maintain healthy blood pressure, or reduce high blood pressure, cholesterol, and diabetes.
If you’re new to the active lifestyle, remember to start slow and set manageable goals for yourself. Like losing weight, getting in shape doesn’t happen overnight. Here are some recommendations for those just beginning their fitness journey:
- Get out of your comfort zone.
- Establish specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and timely goals.
- Try different workout activities to minimize boredom and increase muscle strength.
- Keep your body fueled properly with healthy foods.
- Stay hydrated.
- Dress for comfort.
- Get up and stretch at work to prevent being sore or stiff.
In order to achieve maximum results and become healthier, supplementing your exercise with healthy foods is key. Texas A&M AgriLife Extension’s “Dinner Tonight” offers a variety of delicious snacks, meals, and desserts that are low in calorie and high in nutrition. Sometimes even small changes in your favorite recipes make tremendous differences in terms of calories and fat. Eating healthy doesn’t mean giving up flavor. “Dinner Tonight” offers some substitutions for healthier ingredients:
– Replace butter with unsweetened applesauce in recipes
– Reduce sugar by 1/3 cup
– Use 2% or fat-free Greek yogurt instead of sour cream
– Use whole grain flour instead of all-purpose
