31 degrees..........

I hate when that happens. Will be 90 in 2 days again and probably won't freeze for 3 more weeeks.
I did pull 6 containers in last night and covered about 20 determinates in the garden, plus a few others.
Kids will be bummed about the pumpkins and cukes. I had picked a handful of winter squash and pumpkins earlier last week, but would have had a lot more in another 10 days.
This was the first year we had ripe Cream of Saskatchewan watermelon, so it could have been worse.
I still get a sick feeling in my stomach with the first frost though....
