I have invested in frost cloth. Do I cover the whole garden? or just the plants that will get damaged

You get frost in Northland? Just cover susceptible plants.

And only when a frost is expected, not all winter. I know here in Whangarei we dont get many frosts. maybe 4-5 a winter.

Frost? Why? What plants are you worried about? It's only certain things that don't like it, tomatoes, potatoes. and you don't grow them over winter.

You won't see a frost for ages yet, if at all. I had one last year and that was in August. I'm in Wellsford.

We had one 2 or 3 weeks ago in Tauranga and it was a goodie.

I have seen frost down to the tide line in Paihia - winterless north is a joke

I have lemons. I am in Auckland. Northland is warmer,. I sure haven't forgotten.

I only cover mine overnight when I think there will be a frost, then remove the cloths in the morning . I have some frost-tender things in pots & these I group together so that coverage is easy
