WE usually get our first frost about mid-October. My 2nd batch of Roma tomatoes are starting to turn so I HOPE that it doesn't come early this year!

You people are MEANIES :>
(Although OTOH, I do not believe the temperature got above 85F at my house all summer, and most summer days were in the 70s, although I'll admit this was a very mild cool year... so neener neener to you airconditioning-bill-paying types LOL)
From the forecast, I expect the low tonight at our property will be below freezing, and I don't know whether my sheets and boxes will be sufficient for the tomatoers etc. Phoo. I hope they are, b/c we should otherwise have several more weeks of good growing weather. I did puree all my basil last night though.

Pat, I for one am jealous. I have 2 weeks to go, possibly longer. I am ready to let the frosts have at my garden. We had an extra month of dry summer here and I am so tired of it that I wake up and curse the sun. I know I shouldn't. I'm just tired. I want to do other things with my time than get up early and drag a hose around, or stay out late running water to the fringes of my property. I had to actually water my greenhouse after dark last night. It really sucked.

Weatherman said we should get a very light frost tomorrow night at some point... Northern parts of the state already has had frost... we had a very short summer what with all the rain in june and july it stayed cool...I have already taken down my Tomatoes as I got a blight and it hit every plant...nothing worse than starting seed in April & to have all that work go to rot just as they were about to ripen

Burr only 105* sounds like a great time to grow baked beans.Chicken_Boy said:

Later on that day you noticed the frost on your lawn, we had a near-record high, Pat. 90+F
After some sprinkles and some more sprinkles, high temps are supposed to go right back up to the 90's by the middle of next week. This time . . . that record will fall !

Yep- frost alert tonight. Grrrr! I really hate it!! I am going to scurry around today and dig up a few things that I want to winter over -and hope for the best on the rest of it!! It is irritating, because as you say Pat, we should/could have another month of growing season, without frost. Oh well!! Hope all your plants survive, this one!
