Did anyone's garden get wiped out by the heavy frost we had in the Ohio region last night? My corn just came through a couple of days ago and it looks Ok so far. Really, the only thing that looks bad are a few of my tomato plants and the zuchini plants.
Here comes the FROST.

The cold hits us tonight. So far no frost/freeze warnings but the low is supposed to be 42ish. Our average last freeze data is April 15th.
Quite a bit of the garden has sprouted and the potatoes are really going strong. I hope it can all take temps down in the 40s.
Later,
Dan

No, but I about got wiped out by using an old dilapidated swimming pool ladder to hang sheets on my grape vines at 11:00pm last night!
Platform gave way and I almost fell through. No one knew I was out there as the family was in bed. I have visions of my wife finding me hanging upside down from the ladder in my pajamas with my hair frozen straight down, or UP in this case!

All my frost sensitive plants are still in the shop waiting to be transplanted and my corn isn't up yet. I would imagine if they had been out last night they would have been toast. I won't transplant until tomorrow, still a chance of scattered frost tonight. I did cover the strawberries last night, they say temps of 30 degrees and below can damage the blooms, I had 30.7 degrees this morning.
Sounds like you got a good head start on planting, hope you didn't get too much damage.

HEY GUYS ,
Im so glad i decided not to plant the garden til later in the week.Old timers up here claimed not to plant til memorial weekend ,and i tend to stick to there advise.Nothing grows good [except peas] until the ground warms up,so you dont gain nothing,but do risk it all
Ican still see snow up in the shaded areas of the higher mountains up here.SUGARLOAF was still sking 2 weeks back.Keep warm ive got the oil furnace cooking.ALAN
