As soon as we had some rain this autumn we had a forest of self-down Echium pininana spring up all over the veg patch to keep company with the larger one that grew earlier between two rows of Giant Swiss chard.
I suspect they’re all snuffing it as I type.
Hey ho … there’ll be more space for veg 😊

Insulation only ever slows down temperature changes. in a really prolonged freeze like we are having a single layer of fleece will be no good at all. Wind, as in wind-chill can cut through the insulation.
Many plants have a form of antifreeze in their sap. They will freeze at a range of temperatures.
PLease tell us where you are, it makes a big difference.
