Damage done

Seems like there was probably frost last night. Some plants which were not covered seem to have died off. They look frostbitten.

Worst part is that every single tomato plant outside has either gone dormant again or simply died off. That includes the big vine. Should have brought that one inside.

Aside from tomatoes, everything which was covered is okay. Amazingly, most of the green bean plants seem to be okay. In fact, most still have flowers and some are getting tall enough that I'll have to extend the trellis higher this week.

Some spinach plants are coming up in unexpected places. That's because of the dog running over the tops of the mounds right after earlier plantings. Oh, well. Long as it's growing!

At the very least, I'll have green beans, lettuce, spinach, carrots, onions, garlic, pumpkins (optimistic) and some potatoes. Not so sure about the rest but keep trying.
