We’ve Been Frosted! |
This morning at 7:00 AM the temperature was 30 F. There is frost on the rooftops and on the deck. Not as intense as a mid 20's frost but it will definitely do some damage. The cold weather has come early this year. Around August 29 we had a 35 F morning which is pretty unusual.
On the plus side we picked our tomatoes yesterday and made sauce with most and will finish up the rest in a few days. We also picked beets and carrots which are okay getting frosted once or twice. The basil may not survive this however.
Update, I just came in from the garden, the basil has not survived the frost. There are some good leaves under the frozen stuff but it most of it is dead. I hope this doesn't hurt the onions.
Oh well, gardening is full of surprises, here's a shot of some Super Marmand tomatoes we picked yesterday.
