Frost Warning!

Frost covered car
We saw this light frost on a car down in the White river valley this morning.  We expect a more widespread frost tonight.

Things to do:

  • Harvest any remaining produce from frost intolerant plants like tomatoes, peppers, squashes, celeriac, etc.
  • Cover frost tolerant crops like lettuce, kale, chard, broccoli, etc. with a sheet, row cover, plastic, etc a couple of hours before sundown
  • Build a cold-frame or hot house for late fall/early winter gardening.  We will talk more about this in a post later in the week.
