stupid question about outdoor plants

I have 2 potted porch plants (lavender plant and some green thing that flowers white flowers) that are undercover, but they live outside. With the freezing temps coming, is ok to keep watering them?

Re: stupid question about outdoor plants

  • i wouldn't. i'd also put a plastic baggie or something to cover them and protect them a little bit.

    if it gets too cold, you cover the plants so they don't get frost bitten. i don't know how important this is, but i know all chinese-grandmas do this.

  • Martha Stewart has all hers covered for the winter.  To be fair, it's for an east coast winter, not ours.  These burlap lumps are covered plants:
