June 1 frost

Adding to our sense of disorientation and confusion – a late frost on June 1st. And temps in the 30’s on June 2nd. Lost a few tomato plants. Some other tomatoes and some fingerling potato sprouts got burned.

Tomato victim of late frost

I covered the summer squash, ground cherry, cucumbers, and the beds in the hoophouse where heat-loving crops are planted. Those plants survived fine.

I’m posting this here as a reminder to the future that the last frost dates cannot be trusted. When in doubt, cover!
