Multnomah County Oregon

Expert Response

Thank you for your question, Dorothy.  Without knowing what plants you want to protect, it is difficult to give you a list that will help, and, frankly, you have probably missed the deadlines for doing so, since we're already experiencing below-zero temperatures.  However, here is a short Q & A from another gardener, which may help:  https://extension.oregonstate.edu/ask-extension/featured/how-can-i-protect-my-flowers-freezing

In addition, the referenced article has some general guidelines that address the vulnerability of different plant families, as well as where they are planted:  https://extension.oregonstate.edu/news/eight-tips-gear-garden-cold-weather

I hope this is helpful.   Good luck!
