Hi SW Gardeners!
I awoke this morning to howling winds (20 mph) and a freeze advisory for tonight. I have a purple basil bush in the raised beds that I'm hoping to keep over the winter. I don't know if it's possible, tho. It's less than one year old but stands at least 2 feet tall and wide. Will a cardboard box & fabric keep it from tonight's freeze, or should I pull it completely?
Just checking in before heading for church. I do not have that much experience on growing basil but did do a Google search and it is definitely considered a tropical type plant so I would cover it well if you are about to freeze !
