Another Frost!!
We are getting ready for yet another frost here on the farm!! It is sheets on the trees that are small enough and cardboard on the raised beds. Sure will be glad when it gets warm. Does any one else have this problem? Because I didn't watch the weather last Friday night I lost all the early squashes- so sad. So there are more in the cold frame now- not up yet. Keep warm tonight!

Goodness! Is everything ok? I don't know if you get it down in the Carolinas, but up here in Colorado sometimes we'll get a frost even mid-summer when you least expect it. We lost a couple of plants in our greenhouse with a surprise winter storm a few days ago. Have you tried making large cloches for the taller and bigger plants out of tires, stacking them to the right height and covering the top and sides with plastic tarp? Or maybe hoop houses?
