Most summer vegetables are now entering their final stage.

Falling temperatures signal that their task is nearly complete.

However, if frost threatens before the last tomatoes ripen to red, I will drape a thin cloth over the supports to keep them warm.

The white fabric sold under the name 'row cover' can be used in two distinct ways: one is the so-called 'floating' method, in which it is draped directly over the plants, and the other is the 'hooped' method, in which it is secured to hoops driven into the ground.

The method that makes use of hoops protects delicate stems and leaves more effectively, since the hoops prevent the fabric from pressing down on any part of the plant, no matter how light its weight may be.

Row covers also serve an excellent purpose in protecting cool-season vegetables such as spinach, radishes, cucumbers, potatoes, kale, and lettuce when cold weather approaches.

Row covers are sold in a range of sizes, and if necessary, they can easily be cut to fit.

They are also available in three weight grades; the lightweight material provides only a few degrees of insulation, so it is mainly used for pest protection in spring, and it allows about 90% of sunlight to reach the plants.

Heavy fabric, while providing maximum warmth, is characterized by the fact that it blocks out a considerable amount of sunlight and water.

It also carries with it the risk that temperatures may rise excessively during use.

Medium-weight fabrics strike a balance by allowing 70 to 85 percent of sunlight to pass through and warming the surrounding air by 4 to 6 degrees Fahrenheit.

This may sound insignificant, but it can buy you several extra weeks of growing time.

And once protected brassicas such as cabbage, broccoli, and kale, along with leafy greens and root vegetables, have fully overwintered under cover, they will grow rapidly well before spring arrives, even before spring-planted crops have had a chance to adjust.

For low-growing plants, drape the floating cover loosely over them and then secure it by burying the edges in the soil or placing stones or bricks around the perimeter.

If you intend to protect tall or relatively delicate crops, you can assemble a frame either by purchasing ready-made hoops or by bending flexible PVC pipes into an inverted U shape and inserting each end into the soil.

After draping fabric over it, you must secure the edges of the fabric firmly so that it does not blow away in the wind.

Even if protective measures are taken, it remains necessary to continuously monitor the plants and weather conditions.

Since flowering plants that require pollination must be exposed to insects, monitor the flowering period carefully and remove the cover in accordance with the onset of blooming.

On days when the temperature rises, remove the covers regardless of weight, so that vegetables nearing harvest do not end up 'ripening' prematurely.
