Barb-
I'm in Zone 9 and use hay to protect my sweeties....some of which are suppose
to survive freezing temps. Since we do not have or keep cold temps long
enough I am always raking the hay on and off of my beds....I've even been
able to keep a Muessandra in the ground for four years now protecting it with
hay......it has even survived "harsh" zone 9 winters using the hay.
BTW - we mow the hay into the grass with a mulch mower in the spring.
Happy Gardening
Kemberly
