Still better than a grocery store....even if I was covering beans with straw at 9pm.

Covered my tomatoes with buckets last two nights. All 22 of them - had to scrounge for those last few buckets! Did have light frosts both nights, so good I did. First planting of corn up about inch and a half, cabbages & broccoli are a little more hardy - didn't cover them. Only a couple potato plants above ground.

Weeds on the other hand.....

ur tomatoes and peppers are still in the greenhouses.. too hard to cover 1000 plants every night! I think we will transplant in the next couple of days and cross our fingers.
 
No danger of frost in nw ala. but weeds are a
different story, cool damp spring also. just
finished hoeing out 7-70 ft. rows of field peas. i"m
tired.
 
Set things off to the side this morning, may have to recover for tonight just to be safe. I have 2 or 3 tomatoe plants under the buckets that have blossoms. The potatoes under the "tents" and hay wagons are starting to bloom also. Sweet corn under the ladders is about 6" tall. Broccolli has been harvested once so far. The beans are up and growing 3rd set of leaves. This is the latest I can remember a frost in this area.
I sure hope this is the last round of frost this spring or I'll be in real trouble if there is more to come!
 
Where are you? I talked with a friend who is a trucker, this morning. He was headed south out of Ohio into West Va. He reported seeing frost in Ohio.
