A Frosty May Morning

I helped cover all the plants. We used bed sheets and held them down with rocks so was up and had them off by 8:30 so they didn't burn. and today is supose to be 80. That is Minnesota for you. You have a wonderful day.

When it gets cold here in the winter we have an old sheet that we cover our plants with. We had a cool front come in and it was in the 60's this morning which is very unusual for south Texas in the middle of May but I am loving it.

Got lucky here no frost we were far enough south i guess. Plus i didnt exactly have anything planted anyways lol.

I don't know if we got frost, but it sure got cold this weekend. And after I planted a bunch of seeds, too. I didn't bother covering anything up, though. How do you cover seeds?

We are not experiencing any kind of problems as of now as it is really hot in this part of the globe. In case of any such situation, we try to cover the plants with some or the other green cloth to protect them from the severe weather conditions.

No we dont get frost in the middle of may in nigeria because our climate condition is different from you people over there,and Im now using this opportunity to tell all mylot user that farmer over there to protect there plant from frost now. Thanks Up mylot.com

We have had some frost warnings too. My son covered up the plants with bags. He also has some of the plants covered up with a 2 litter pop bottle with the bottom cut off, its like a mini green house. I know we can have frost now but its unusual.

Our last average frost date is May 15, but we had an early warm up this year, so all my garden things are out and even beginning to grow. I was a little worried when we had a cold spell with rain, but it wasn't supposed to get below the high 30's, so I didn't cover anything up. (I know... I have too much faith in the weather forecasters!) When I do have to cover them up, I use sheets. I have some old ones saved just for things like that. You know it's gonna happen, so might as well be prepared. :)

It gets cool in the mornings here, but we have had no frost to my knowledge. Of course different parts of the state experience different weather...

I am sure we have had frost in may, as it gets pretty cold sometimes. I just cannot remember the last time. As for a garden I don't have much of a green thumb.

Hi GRANDPA BOB, Its awful that the weather keeps changeing like this, you just don't know what you'r supposed to do, one minute its lovely and warm then the next it cold and rain and windy. tamara

that is really great to see those ice on the vegetables. we don't have that here. i mean the snow. anyways, it is hard to grow plants during cold season i guess.

The weather here is unseasonable cool too, it is not cold enough for frost, if so I haven't heard it announced on the weather channel. I will keep watch because I do not want my plants to die. I am happy to hear that you protected yours. I am just waiting for pictures of your fruits and vegetable.

Here in New Mexico there is no frost in May however if there was I would probably use plastic bags or towels to cover my garden. I hope the frost goes away soon. Good Luck and have a great day!

we're pretty lucky where we live, we dont seem to get such heavy frost as you get in May. i have moved pots etc., into the greenhouse sometimes, but its not a heated greenhouse.just sheltered.
