Temperatures in inland Southern California could dip toward freezing this week. Here's how to protect your tender plants.
A craft cannabis cultivator shares his challenges — and a glimpse into his biodynamic, off-the-grid farmMost places in Southern California won’t see temperatures much below 40, Savio said, especially along the coast, but some inland areas could start “nudging frost” in the early hours of Wednesday and Thursday, according to weather forecasts.
Canyon floors and valley bottoms can see temperatures dip into the freezing range even when it’s in the 40s in most other areas because cold air settles at the lowest point it can find, just like water, says Hodel. Luckily, wind is expected to accompany the cold air, Hodel said. Wind helps mix up the cold air with warmer air above, reducing the chance of frost, Hodel said. But on windless, clear nights, if you live at the bottom of a canyon or your backyard is mostly slope, where cold air can settle and get trapped by your house, there are a few things you can do to protect young or tender plants against damage from the cold.
“I always look at the weather. If it’s a clear, dry day with no wind, and the high temperature stays in the 50s, there’s a good potential for frost that night. But it has to be dry,” he said, adding: “Dry air loses heat, but water holds a lot of heat, so if it rains and stays in the 50s, it will probably stay in the 40s that night because the air is so moist.”Make sure your plants aren’t water-stressed going into a cold period.
And if you suspect frost is heading your way, break out the hose ASAP, Savio said, to give your plants a good drink and plump up their roots to withstand the coming cold. “And even if they can’t water before the frost, water immediately after or as soon as they can, to help the roots survive whatever damage they have.”
