Frost Watch

It's six in the morning, and according to the National Weather Service it's 32 degrees F at the Lincoln Municipal Airport. This means that it's some undetermined temperature above 32 degrees F in my back yard--the location and geometry of such creates a slightly warmer microclimate than the airport enjoys--which means that my tomato plants might, MIGHT, have gotten through the night intact. Which means I might be able to eke out another week or so of Yellow Jelly Bean tomatoes.

I'm hopeful. Tomatoes hate cold, but I covered them last night, and they are in a sheltered location.... After I get dressed and before I leave for work I'll uncover them and see. In the end, that's a gardener's fate--wait and see.
