Do Sheets Really Protect Plants From Frost?
By Brandee Gruener
Published on January 23, 2026Excerpt: "Do Sheets Protect Plants From Freezing?
"Yes, sheets can help prevent frost damage. Generally, you should use breathable fabric that won't trap moisture or overheat, which is why old sheets or comforters can work in a pinch (and why plastic coverings aren't recommended). Thicker, heavier sheets provide more protection than thin ones, but you can always double them.
"Fabric covers do have their limits. The fabric is less likely to prevent damage once the temperature drops below 28 degrees Fahrenheit ( -2.2°C). To protect plants from extreme temperatures throughout the winter, use a more effective method like a #ColdFrame, #HoopTunnel, or #greenhouse."

Can any kind soul advise what's happening to this #tomato plant? It just stopped growing and the leaves lost their deep green colour. The flower buds have not opened. The bottom of the plant is okay.
It's one of four plants in my greenhouse. It shares a growbag with one other. The other plants are all healthy. I can see no sign of pests, like whitefly. Location, UK, north.
Input appreciated! -

Paul Beckwith, a climate science educator, goes through James Hansen's recent warnings about a coming "Super El Niño".
This video (24:48) assumes a small amount of background in math and science, enough to read time/temperature graphs, but is generally quite accessible in its explanations. He walks through a lot of good stuff like how the El Niño / La Niña cycle works, what some of the "forcings" are that are driving some of these things, why things like aerosols matter, what different models show, what the consensus predictions have been and why Hansen's predicting something substantively stronger.
It's a pretty worrisome set of things, but Hansen has been an important voice in the climate conversation, and I think Beckwith's presentation is pretty level—trying to just walk through the information dispassionately in a way that can help you understand the science part.

At the Hamill Family Play Zoo building in the Brookfield Zoo you can find this lil' gem. This is where they currently have the koala display as well. My only criticism is that I wish it was bigger. 😁

How can ships become cleaner? | #DW Documentary
Soot, particle pollution and heavy fuel oil: freighters and cruise liners are real climate killers. It’s high time for a change of course on the seas. The film shows how both #innovations and tried-and-tested ideas can make shipping cleaner.
Container ships supply people all over the world with goods, while #cruises attract millions of passengers every year. But ships also cause around three percent of global #greenhouse gas emissions.
This is despite the fact that emission-free #maritime #trade has been possible for thousands of years - thanks to the wind. "We need to get back to sailing ships," says Captain Andreas Lackner. Fifteen years ago, the #Austrian and two friends put a sailing cargo ship into operation. The "Tres Hombres" has been working since 2010, transporting up to 40 tons of goods across the seas without an engine. The clipper ship takes cocoa and rum from the Caribbean to Europe, or 20,000 bottles of organic wine from La #Rochelle to #Copenhagen. "We’re closing the gap between fairly paid producers of organic goods and conscious consumers," says Lackner.
Others have also rediscovered the power of the wind. Ralf Oltmanns from East Frisia sailed the world's #oceans at the age of 16, before founding an advertising agency. Now, 30 years later, the passionate sailor has developed a new twist on a century-old propulsion system in order to make large ships cleaner. The Flettner rotor, named after its inventor, Anton Flettner, is a type of sailing machine: a cylindrical structure that rotates in the wind to generate thrust. Oltmanns has used the original invention to create a modern product. "Depending on the size of the rotor and the wind conditions, a freighter can save between 5 and 25 percent on fuel," the 63-year-old calculates. The rotor could make both cargo and passenger ships more climate-friendly. Anna Braren was convinced by his idea: Her shipping company equipped its first ship with the Flettner rotor in 2021.
With countless innovations and strict regulations, #Norway is leading the way in the transition to emission-free #shipping. The #Scandinavians are focusing on #electric motors and hybrid #technologies. #Climate change is already being felt in the #Norwegian Arctic - another reason why the government is getting serious. From 2026, only emission-free ships will be allowed to sail in #Norway's most beautiful fjords. And climate-friendly #tourist ships are already sailing along the traditional postal ship route.

I can think of one easy, ICE-related measure which would reduce our transportation carbon footprint, and which has not been implemented here. It's not going to cut our emissions by 25%, but every little bit helps, right? That's why Canada, with 1.5% of the world's emissions, is working so hard at it.
Ban automobile remote-start functionality! By definition, it's empty vehicles idling, which is already illegal in some places.
Greenies, unite!

Mini #greenhouse #seedlings are coming along well. I've transplanted 12 cells of #mesclun #SaladGreens into #garden beds & more will be transplanted on Friday.
Pea & bean seeds are #sprouting from older seeds. I sowed fresher seeds today. Baby broccoli & cauliflower are emerging. I'm about 2 weeks behind with tomatoes & cukes.#zone8 #GardenersOfMastodon #SDFgardeners #FoodSecurity #SelfSufficiency #Plants #FoodGardening #GrownFromSeed #Seedlings #GrowFood #Greens #YYJgardeners #VictoriaBC
