Snow in MID MAY???

[radioman]

We just had hail an hour ago. I just planted my garden last thursday thinking its going to stay warm enough for rest of month. May is always a gamble where we live and We have a freeze warning for tonight in low 30's. I have peppers, onions, cabbage, celery in as plants and the rest of the veggies is seed. I am hoping that this thursday warmth in mid 70's will keep the seeds viable. I am sure the onions and cabbage will survive the freeze. I am more concerned about the peppers I planted. do you think covering peppers wil help? I just hope it doesnt make it leggy and wilted in the morning.

You are brave, planting peppers in the first half of May. Covering them will help, old sheets, tarps, whatever. I wouldn't worry about the onions and cabbage either. I don't know about celery, never tried growing any.
