Well, they predicted 41F last night for my zip code in the Colorado mountains and we got 36F and rain/snow mix. I did not trust the forcast so covered the new tomatoes and peppers that I already put in the ground with a clear plastic draped over some horizontal poles to form a tent. I also brought inside the plants still in containers that I was hardening on the deck, but did not plant yet as insurance against a late freeze. It has now turned to rain only and 37F but, I think i will leave the clear plastic tent over the rows to collect some warmth on this overcast and rainy day. Tonight’s forecast is 36F and I don’t trust it either. Any warmth I can get into the ground should help tonight if it freezes.

Well I wish you luck and success in fighting off the cold weather. If I could I would send you some warmth from over this way. At 10 this morning it was 80 F and now it is 87. It will be a hot day into the 90’s here.
