Translucent plant cover of foldable construction

A protector for placing on the ground to cover a growing plant, said protector comprising:

• a plurality of wall panels, each said wall panel extending from and being hingedly connected to another of said wall panels along scored fold lines such that said wall panels form a generally upright self supporting column when folded across said fold lines, the top edges of the wall panels of the column form an open top, said open top defining a plateau region, a depending shoulder region adjoining said plateau region and extending downward to a valley region from said plateau region, and an inclined edge region adjoining said valley region and opposing said plateau region, said inclined region inclining downward toward said valley region;
• and
• at least one lid panel, each said lid panel extending from and being hingedly connected to the top edge of one said wall panel, such that at least one said lid panel may be selectively pivoted between a closed position substantially covering said open top and an open position substantially displaced from said closed position, whereby the protector folded to its generally upright position may be placed over the growing plant with at least one lid panel being selectively opened or closed to permit ventilation or provide protection from the plant.
