During a thunderstorm, it's important to take some precautions to care for your garden:
-
Secure loose items: Bring in or secure any lightweight garden items, such as pots, planters, or decorations, to prevent them from being blown away.
-
Protect delicate plants: If you have delicate plants or flowers, consider covering them with a tarp or garden fabric to shield them from heavy rain and strong winds.
-
Avoid overwatering: Since thunderstorms can bring heavy rainfall, avoid watering your garden before or during the storm to prevent waterlogging and root rot.
-
Stay indoors: It's best to stay indoors during a thunderstorm to ensure your safety. Avoid standing under tall trees or near metal objects in the garden.
By following these steps, you can help protect your garden during a thunderstorm and ensure your plants stay healthy.
