FROSTY MORNING

We experienced two frosty mornings in a row. The thermometer dipped to 32d Sunday morning and 29d Monday morning. But the row cover inside the hoophouse (that's what you see in the picture) saved our tomatoes, squashes, peppers, eggplant and cukes. Well, truth to be told, a couple of the squash leaves got zinged Monday morning, but they will recover.

Yeah, I know, it isn't the prettiest picture....looks aren't the best. But it does the job of protecting the plants and that's what counts.  

So....hopefully we are past all the hard frosts for our area - though we could still get a touch here 'n there before the end of May.

Our tomatoes are looking healthy 'n strong; starting to put out shoots and wanting to climb. Time to set up the trellis system. I'll have a picture of those lovely tomatoes next time.
