If you garden in North Carolina, you know our weather has a flair for the dramatic. One week we’re basking in the 70s, the next week it’s snowing, and by the time you’ve zipped your coat, we’re right back to springlike temps again. These rapid shifts can be brutal on tender plants and mentally taxing for the gardener trying to keep them alive.
This year, though, I finally found a solution that keeps up with our unpredictable seasons: Vego Garden’s Mesh Cover Systems and Frost Cover Systems.
Why the Vego Mesh Cover System Is My New Favorite Gardening Tool
I added the mesh cover system to several of my beds, and honestly, I don’t know how I managed without it. The mesh doesn’t just provide airflow and sun; it acts like a flexible, breathable shield against temperature swings, wind, and pests.
The best part? …. The zippers.
They zip and unzip smoothly, making it easy to check on plants, harvest, or adjust airflow without fussing with clothespins, stakes, or makeshift solutions. For weeks when the temps bounce from balmy to frosty and back again, the mesh cover keeps my tender plants stable and happy.

The Frost Cover System: My Secret to Overwintering Artichokes
Artichokes in a North Carolina winter? I used to think the only way to keep them alive was hauling them into the garage or greenhouse every year.
Not anymore.
The Vego Frost Cover System has been excellent. It insulates without smothering, and the structure is sturdy enough to withstand snow and icy nights. My artichokes stayed cozy and green all winter long, no lugging pots around, no makeshift hoop houses collapsing mid-storm.
If you’ve ever wanted to push your growing zone a little, these frost covers are absolutely worth it. It allowed me to make an entire bed of artichoke plants. Please cross your fingers for my garden partner and me. We are hoping to end up with dozens of artichokes.
