We had a nasty sign of spring this morning, a rather hard frost anywhere the air was still. I don't think there is much damage, we only had a few things planted out. I may lose a couple of peppers but the rest should be OK, I'll know by this afternoon. We got tons of rain this weekend (my gauge froze), which we badly needed, but the weatherman says we are still at a deficit. I woke up in the middle of the night to find our sweet little grandson had turned the GH heater off. I caught it at about 41*F so it should be fine. Last time he was here we could have cooked lobsters in the hot tub. LOL Maybe I should buy him boxing gloves to wear when he visits, limiting his activities to flipping switches.
Our dwarf iris looked OK they are close to the foundation.
