Detroit Michigan;
Don't know about anyone else but this May 11 freeze warning following a May 1 warning and several near freezes that I ignored of less than 40 degrees overnight seems crazy.

It's given me the chance to refine my plant covering setup, but I'd rather be doing other gardening work.

Maybe this super el nino will make up for it, but probably not.

Oh I forgot to mention, I lost my best and biggest indoor started cucumbers four beautiful 6 inchers; 3 Boston Pickling, and 3 Straight Eights in a late April freeze. I germinated and planted replacements and then lost them to another late April freeze. At least I assume they’re lost! No baby leafs where they should be. Started some more a couple days ago but they’re getting the kid gloves treatment like my Roma tomatoes: outside for daylight inside with heaters at night.
