Here in DFW got a bit cold last night too. Didn’t chance it so I covered up the ‘matoes with the old blanket plus the pepper plant. The arugula lettuce is doing ok. Last 2-3 weeks we had clouds galore but very little moisture from the sky. Hope that changes soon—don’t want to go into the scorcher summers here with dry ground from the get-go.

Here on the far, far west side of DFW, I didn't bother, and lost the one New Mexico pepper to mechanical damage from something windblown. Everything else besides one tobacco plant that took mechanical damage was fine from the temps.

It's certainly going to delay the harvest, though. It makes the peppers angry to get chilled.

The winds were harsh enough that the catz were right next to me all night long. It's down to gusts of 20MPH now.
