https://primepatriot.com/2020/05/09/a-nerve-racking-time-for-growers-dnyuz (from New York Times) A ‘Nerve-Racking’ Time for Growers – DNyuz Across New York and New England, farmers and growers watched with worry on Saturday morning as a late season blast of Arctic air and even snow descended on fragile fruits and vegetables that had just begun to poke through. Workers at Westwind Orchard in Accord, N.Y., about 70 miles south of Albany, on Friday night sprayed water, molasses and kelp mineral on budding apple blossoms to help protect them against the cold. In New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Maine, people woke up on Saturday to find snow falling. The temperature in Worcester, Mass., fell to 30 degrees, breaking the previous record of 31 set on May 9, 1934, according to the National Weather Service.

My fruit trees looked fine today when I inspected them - BUT we still have Sunday and Monday night freezes to get through!

So happy I don’t have to feed myself anymore than I already do; nerve wracking!

We had frost, hubby took a old kiddy wading pool and put over the 4 tomato plants I have,
