Frost

[greenstorm]

I put a bunch of squash into the ground -- the bush ones (gold nugget, sweet mama, and uchiki kuri, plus Algonquin pumpkin), and Avi came up, so of course we had a real frost last night. I'd covered all the squash, the tomatoes in the greenhouse were half covered and seem fine, and the tomatoes right up against the south side of the greenhouse were uncovered but looked fine this morning.

When I went out this morning there was still ice on the outside of some of the coverings so I'll need to look a little later on, I wasn't about to uncover yet.

Almost time to put the cucumbers out, and the tomatoes etc on the deck, but obviously not quite yet!

i have patty squash ready to harvest. but it's in the 90s F every day here (normal for June, even a little bit cool for the recent trend) so the squash are on schedule.

Amazing. When was your last frost?

that sharp one that took out all the stone fruit in late April was also our last frost.
