To protect your plants from frost you can cover the plants with coffee cans, tarps, cardboard, blankets, sheets and towels.

You can also cover the plants with some foam such as Styrofoam coolers etc.

When the temperature reaches around 28 degrees F for five consecutive hours, protect your plants by covering them with sheets, blankets, towels, cardboard, or a tarp.

Cover the plants before dark to trap them in warm air and don't allow the coverings to touch the foliage.

Tender plants (also sometimes called semi-hardy or half-hardy plants) are usually unable to survive hard frost, and need to be protected or brought indoors over winter.

Popular tender plants include fuschia, dahlias, pelargoniums, tree ferns, canna lilies, begonias and some succulents.

Drought-stressed plants are more susceptible to cold damage, so watering plants a few days in advance of a cold snap is beneficial.

Watering just before the freeze can help too by creating warmth, and the water loses its heat slowly over the hours into the colder temperatures.

Frost does not kill spinach although when there's a hard freeze the hard freeze will kill spinach.

Spinach is a hardy plant and can survive frost although spinach cannot survive freezing temperatures.

If the temperature reaches 28 F degrees or colder then the Spinach plant will not survive.

Spinach is high in fiber so it does make you poop and eating spinach can help keep your bowels healthy and can even prevent constipation.

Eating spinach is also good for weight loss as it's low in calories and highly nutritious.

Spinach is a leafy green flowering plant native to central and western Asia. It is of the order Caryophyllales, family Amaranthaceae, subfamily Chenopodioideae.

Its leaves are a common edible vegetable consumed either fresh, or after storage using preservation techniques by canning, freezing, or dehydration.

Spinach does make you poop and Spinach is also good to eat when you're having trouble moving your bowels or have constipation.

Spinach is pretty high in fiber which helps make people poop since the more fiber you consume the more you usually have to poop.

Aside from fiber Spinach also contains magnesium and both fiber and magnesium help to flush your colon out so you actually get a natural colon cleanse and you benefit your health from the fiber and magnesium as well as the other nutrients that Spinach contains.

You can also get diarrhea when eating too much spinach which happened to me one day when I was loving Spinach with some cheese on it and then I overindulged in the cheese spinach and then I had diarrhea for a few days after that.

But when eaten in moderation the Spinach is very healthy and helps you poop and cleanses your colon.
