- [00:00:00.038](jazzy music)
- [00:00:06.110]Good morning Goldenrods.
- [00:00:07.480]How are you today?
- [00:00:09.110]Today is chilly, windy, and it's going to snow.
- [00:00:13.470]I know a lot of you are excited about it
- [00:00:15.416]and today I'm gonna show you
- [00:00:17.730]how I will build a tent, a small tent
- [00:00:20.830]for my plants so they do not freeze
- [00:00:23.800]and die in the cold weather.
- [00:00:26.940]I need some popsicle sticks and some plastic shield,
- [00:00:31.870]and this plastic shield is actually
- [00:00:34.700]a what, a drop cloth so this is something
- [00:00:38.310]we can easily get from grocery store.
- [00:00:41.150]I stuck the popsicle sticks in the ground.
- [00:00:44.310]Yan helped me a lot.
- [00:00:46.410]We stuck the sticks very carefully
- [00:00:48.680]so they did not hurt any of the little sprouts.
- [00:00:54.180]In about three minutes, we finished
- [00:00:56.250]our work on the first patch.
- [00:01:00.010]Now it looks like a little wood of popsicle sticks.
- [00:01:06.260]Then we covered our little patch with a plastic shield.
- [00:01:10.840]We put something heavy on the edge of the shield
- [00:01:15.530]to keep the shield in place.
- [00:01:18.560]We have some pots.
- [00:01:20.800]We also have a plank,
- [00:01:24.200]and Yan also found some stones.
- [00:01:27.600]We continued work on the second patch
- [00:01:30.280]because we have some plants growing out from the ground
- [00:01:34.440]and we do not want them to suffer in the cold weather.
- [00:01:48.600]We stuck the popsicle sticks,
- [00:01:54.010]cover it with the plastic shield,
- [00:01:57.520]and while we're done, we checked very carefully
- [00:02:00.720]on the edge of the shield.
- [00:02:02.970]Make sure it's keeping stable.
- [00:02:06.840]Soon, everything looked pretty good.
- [00:02:09.490]We had a lot of rocks, we had pots and plants,
- [00:02:13.570]and now even a bottle to keep the shield in place.
- [00:02:19.030]And this is my tent to protect my plants.
- [00:02:26.230]Later, the snow got heavy,
- [00:02:29.060]but I think my plants will pretty well.
- [00:02:32.040]We'll wait for more sunshine.
- [00:02:33.940]Have a beautiful day.
