Your 2025 Garden

[R2elk]

ENC's forecast is for extreme cold, for us, 15°F. I removed the remaining hose, did the best I could to insulate the faucet.

Maybe I'll wrap it with an old towel or t-shirt to cover the gap. The foam covers fit great on the other two outside faucets.

I'm afraid I'll be losing most of my remaining crops, blast it! It doesn't get this cold very often, and not usually until January.

Here we use frost free hydrants. There is no need to cover them because they are built so that once the valve is closed, the water drains out of the outside part. The seat of the valve is inside the house.

Nothing is insulated here, as it rarely gets below 20°, and only for a day or two when it does.

Yep. It's brief, and infrequent, so most pipes are not insulated. We let our faucets drip, and leave the vanity/cupboard doors open to allow the warmth of the room to moderate the cold air under the sink.

Pipes inside the house here are not insulated either. Pipes outside the house are buried below the frost line (6').
