I have managed to kill a couple of them this year, missing a day or two watering is fatal for containers. Peppers and tomatos love Santee weather around march. I count myself lucky if I can get anything else to grow in heat that we get. This year I decided to only do heirloom toms since I found out how tasty they are. The Hill Crest farmers market has several people selling heirloom toms and they are so great.
Yes, I think it's a huge cold front. They were predicting it for at least a week. When they have a chart with the record lows listed on the NWS forecast discussion page you know you're in for it!
