35 degrees for a low tonight in Minneapolis MN

Gobig_or_Gohome_toms · May 16, 2011

Here I am at home just finishing up lunch after spending the morning filling all my containers with potting mix and I see the weather channel is saying we could get down to 35 tonight. Instead of risking a frost I am thinking I will just wait and give the seedlings another day to harden off in the sun.

What is everyone else doing in this area?

I'm not in the Twin Cities, but we have a similar forecast here in NW Indiana. I'm going to bring the plants in tonight and wait another day. Beginning Wednesday, the overnight lows are in the upper 40s and low 50s, so we should be good to go.

I'm outside of Chicago, and I'm waiting for this weekend. I was planning on potting up a few of the larger plants, but then I saw the weather report. They might as well stay in the mini greenhouse a little bit longer.

My cabbages, potatoes and radishes don't seem to care at all, though. They are going gangbusters.

I'm waiting, whenever I can get ready this week (but not today!)

28 this am with frost. I am waiting until next weekend to plant. I have a big plant sale fri-sat then I can plant like crazy.
