down to 40 F

TexasTomat0 · April 9, 2018

We just got hit with a very chilly day on Saturday. It was nearly 85 F on Friday afternoon, about midnight-3 am a cold front rolled in and it was 40 F by 7 am on Saturday. It stayed cold all day and was overcast. Sun never came out. I noticed some cold damage on about 3 of my plants. It seems to have hit the "Wispy" leaf varieties - Brad's atomic grape a heart I cannot remember at the moment and one more. There was also a bit of damage to the leafs of a hyacinth bean as well.

Overall I would say we were in the mid to low 40's for about 18 +/- hours. The plants that were more established did just fine. Mine are in raised beds.
