Take a Hike, Jack Frost

   
   The overnight temps of August 9th/10th appear to have dipped below the 2 degrees I spotted on the thermometer yesterday morning.  

   In the North garden, some of the snap beans were touched by frost...

   ...as were the dry beans and the Gold Nugget squash plants.

   The zucchini plants (East garden) were partially zapped...

   ...and so were a number of zinnias.

   Last night was another chilly one; it was 4 degrees at 6:00am.  It's 2:30pm as I'm typing, sunny and 18 degrees.  It feels almost tropical!  (I suspect the tomato plants would disagree.  They would prefer 28 degrees.)
