Cover up your tomatoes or your electric lettuce folks. Says it's going down to 1 this evening.
We will see... missed seeing this yesterday and our small, COVID-inspired, vegetable garden was uncovered. Frost is definitely "on the pumpkin" in North Londontown this morning.Got a reading of 3 degrees C at 0745hrs. Saturday morning in Clear Creek. I second Duck Blind's opinion ... a little frost won't hurt them just makes them pump their juices harder during the day making for a better product.
Potassium bicarbonate? Talk to me! Frost definitely helps turpine levels too.Peppers were killed by two frosts last week.
Tomatoes are done.
Last of the cucumbers were killed off.
Electric lettuce (Love that one lol) is not harmed by light frost and the stress usually stimulates trichome ripening. Just have to watch for white powdery mildew developing on leaves due to frosty weather. Nothing a little potassium bicarbonate solution can’t clear up...
