Sat morning we had another frost and us farmers were slow setting up at the market as the temps were still right around freezing at 6 AM. Frost isn't all that unusual for my area about now.
But this morning it was 26* at 6 AM and even a couple of tomato plants in my unheated greenhouse died. This is the earliest it's been THIS cold around here that I know of. The forecast is for 29* tonite too.
We still have a lot of winter squash out in the fields we didn't have a chance to get picked up. I don't think there will be a whole lot worth picking up now. They were so slow to ripen this year.
There were a whole lot of jokes about "global warming" at the market yesterday. With our late cool spring, non-existant summer and now early cold, no one around here thinks our part of the world is getting warmer.
