>>>Frost predicted tonight<<<

Boy, glad we are a bit warmer... (47º called for tonight)

I always jump the gun on my garden too - last year I had to plant corn 3 times before it was warm enough to ‘take’. But it sure is nice to have the early veggies.

If you have a small area place large rocks or bricks around plants they will absorb the sun’s warmth during the day and keep the plants warm at night.

Just in and tuckered out as usual, but got to catch up on this thread before retiring. Corn is very, very particular about sprouting at low temps. I just love fresh corn so much that I sprout some in the house, plant and cover with black plastic just to get a jump on the season. Tedious work, planting that sprouted corn, one kernal at a time, but worth it when you finally get to eat it.
