By Kim Charles

Judy Dawson gets creative with ways to protect her cherish succulent containers .

" My name is Judy Dawson and I reside in Newcastle , California . Our area , in Zone 9B has feel freezing temperature and and abundance of rain . This has presented challenge in prtoectin my succulents that are too heavy to move .

My husband no longer uses his crab nets , so I take out the ring and he sprayed them . They were in unlike size , so I arranged them in what was once a fountain , and supply the cactus potting admixture and planted my succulents . The rings supply support for frost cloth during the freeze temperature and an old shower curtain protects against drench rains . For pots without ring , I use ceramic mushrooms or iron garden artistic creation to keep the hoar cloth from stay on the succulents .

Other succulents are arranged in a gravid grouping , so my husband made a PVC A - figure so that they can be covered with one large hoar material . "
