What crazy spring weather!  Frost is forecast for tonight, so be sure to protect anything tender that you have already planted out.  Tomatoes and peppers should be protected with Walls-o-water, plastic, an empty milk jug…you get the idea.  The annuals most susceptible to frost are impatiens and begonias, so if you have these in pots or the ground, it would be good to throw some floating row cover over them for the night.

This is unusually cold weather for this time of year – just a reminder to us all that Mother Nature does her own thing in her own way, and we gardeners need to pay attention!  Hopefully in a week or so we will return to more normal weather patterns.
