Is it time to take off the winter blanket covers, which protected plants from frost?

Question

It is a lovely sunny day today, i wonder if the protective blankets on money plants and geraniums can come off now? As i could not bring these plants indoors during the awful cold winter, i covered them with these bag like blanket covers, will it be safe to take them off now?

Good gardeners please advise.

Thanks.

If the weather is warm you must remove the covers or they will rot from condensation underneath. All my geraniums are up and looking healthy.

Depends on which part of the country you live in and is your local prone to frost.Have just done a typical 14 day weather forecast and the indications are that from the middle of the month frost is a possibility.I use netweather and the met office to obtain some idea.Remove by all means but keep an eye open on weather changes.

I would wait a while. I live in the South and we usually get a frost around Easter.. Also, the farmer's almanac says it will frost in April.. Have a great day... Gus

Check with your local nursery or garden store...See what temp zone your in..Here in NY, upstate its ok now...Even if  we had a frost? It wouldn't be a "Hard frost"
