Frost!

Slept terrible with this flu and was up most the night.  Chui went crazy barking at 8:45 this morning because my buddy Chris was here to borrow the lawnmower.  I stepped outside to give him a hand and he tells me "Man, it was freezing last night!  Literally, there is ice on things"  "Shit!" I said as I realized my new little plants were just exposed to their first frost.  I naively thought that we wouldn't get a frost in Orange but we did.  I checked the garden and sure enough there was frost on several of the leaves, hopefully it's not enough to kill them.

I don't intend to set up hoop tunnels but I think I will spread a trash bag or two over my few plants Tonight just to play it safe.  More farming lessons learned...
