It is 6:32 am and I just gained an hour of sleep although technically we subtracted an hour and I slept the same length of time.
Here are some pictures of my greens as of about 10 minutes ago. I am in the suburbs so I typically get 3-5 degrees lower temps then what is on the news. I did miss this frost was coming. But I am going to bet 90% of my greens are okay. Ill see'll how they look this afternoon.
If they are wilting, their cells were ruptured by the frost bursting their cells. Greens and lettuce have some resistance to this.

That was a pretty bad frost. Did they make it?? I have been just leaving the clear plastic loosly draped haven't gotten bit yet
ReplyDeleteYes they did. Perfectly minus a few dead leaves. I just haven't had time to post it. And it frosted again last night. The greens are pretty sturdy.
