It’s always risky planting before the end of May. Last frost is around May 28. These were a little too big for my cloaches, but these were bought starters so semi hardened and I’ve had them in a cold frame for a week already.
I think this summer I'm going to work on building a small green house cover/cold frame for the raised bed. One would be very helpful in these chaotic springs.
Oh no! I don’t have any frost on mine but I have several varieties of tomatoes and peppers that have been mostly uncovered for cool nights down to 40-42 F and have been worried about them a bit still.
Same. I'm hoping to come across helpful tomato growing advice.
I started seedlings in the house back in pate February, yet they are still so small. They got to about 3"-4" By mother's day, and I planted them in my new raised bed.
Then hit with them cold nights and heavy rain for two weeks straight.
They are not happy. I see folks with tomato plants a foot tall already, and I just stare at my babies in shame.
Frost danger for me in the southeast of North America passed around the end of March, I believe. It amazes me to think frost is still a danger for anyone. Just how far north are you?
Same thing happened to my pepper plants, I am hoping they can get thru it, but I doubt I will get more then seeds from them this year.
