Light frost, cold night for tomatoes

[Wishin']

Tonight is the last freezing night left, then it will steadily get warmer over the next few days. The sunflowers, and seeded flower bed (which started sprouting a few days ago) has made the last 3 freezing nights without being covered, lets hope it will take one more The veggie garden is covered and safe, but I don't have the materiel to cover the flowers.

Still waiting here.... 4 inches of snow last night, 14 degrees tonight, BUT the old snow has been steadily melting and there are now parts of the garden with exposed soil!

I have been surprised how much cold sunflowers can take. I don't know about down in the 20's . . .

I mean, they look like zinnias but they will even sprout in cold soil. Right now, the tiny things are under plastic but there is no overnight heat. It's very close or at freezing by most mornings where the sunflower seedlings are.

Bucka', there is only snow here in shady corners of parking lots.

@digitS' So do you think they will be alright?

After becoming a little acclimated, sunflowers can take a frost, @Wishin' .

From the sounds of our fore cast this morning, we may have a light frost tonight. So not ready for these colder nights..... good cuddling weather, but where was our summer this year? I think it took a 12 month vacation!

Maybe you can think of it this way, @dewdropsinwv :

Three weeks after the Spring equinox, frost, hail & snow!

The night of the Autumn equinox, light frost.

There are more weeks on one end of the bookshelf than the other ...
