Fall is here and with the new season comes new temperatures.

 

We could see some frost tomorrow morning.

 

The experts at Wallace's gave us an inside look at how to protect your summer plants.

 

There are some easy ways to cover your summer plants with a garbage bag that fit over any size pots.

 

But some plants are more affected by the changing temperatures.

 

"The plants you should be most worried about are your summer annuals. Your impatiens, your petunias, those annuals that love the hot weather we usually  have in the summer that don't love the cool temperatures in the fall," says Kate Terrell, of Wallace's.

 

The folks at Wallace's say you can use a spray called freeze proof which increases your plant's cold tolerance by 10 degrees.
