The ambitious folk who have sown gardens sleep warily tonight. When we wake up there will most likely be frost on the ground, and if so those who have already planted outside without cover will face seedlings frozen by cold settled air.
My whole crop of seedlings includes now:
10 varieties of Heirloom Tomatoes
Dino Kale
Yellow and Green Beans
3 Varieties of Basil
Tatsoi
Bok Choi
Fennel
Cayenne Pepper
Bell Pepper
Squash
Zucchini
Snow Peas
Mesclun Mix
Cardoon
Some red leafy thing I can't remember the name of
Pumpkins
Swiss Chard
Broccoli
and others...
I do not want these guys to die. So I put a woodstove in the PR hothouse I had prepared a month back just waiting for this late frost to arrive. I read my almanac.
I started a fire and warmed the space to 85 degrees, waited out there a bit for two fuel logs to catch and cut the oxygen -
For the seedlings that will be feeding me, hopefully it will be a -
good luck, i hope they all make it!
