Frost - a VERY close call?

tomatoguy · April 29, 2008

When I woke up a few minutes ago, the outdoor thermometer was registering 36 degrees. However, as you can see in the picture, there is definitely frost on the hot tub cover as well as my car and my work truck. The plants look okay so far. No apparent damage at all. I will have a look at them later to be sure. They certainly don't have the appearance they did last year after a 22 degree overnight temp. After that they were lying flat on the ground and had the consistency of melted candle wax. I have a grand total of 1 backup plant, the one intended for my jobsite. All of my co-workers' and friends' plants are in the ground so I am keeping my fingers crossed for them as well.
