It's official now. Yesterday morning's temp broke a 111 year old record low by 3º.

Just came in from removing the heavy duty ground cloth from the garden. That stuff is great. The uncovered cole crops I thought I had lost perked up as soon as the sun hit them yesterday. Everything under cover survived. Guess this freeze came so early in the year that there was still enough warmth in the soil to keep everything under the cloth from freezing.

Other uncovered stuff....Greek Columnar basil gone, coleuses.. gone, eggplants..gone, pole limas..gone, 4 o'clocks..gone, marigolds...???, panseys..OK. strawberries..OK, parsley..OK, sage..OK, lavendar..OK, sweet marjoram..OK, satsumas..OK, garlic...OK.
