So, there was a light frost last night. Dang it!!
Not too worried about the spinach. It is highly frost tolerant. I've had spinach grow very slow but successfully through a hard winter in the past. Even buried under snow, it survives. Drought and sodium do major damage to it, though.
Lettuce is very not tolerant of frost. So, my biggest hope is that the soil retained just enough heat to protect it. Luckily, most of the lettuce has not yet sprouted.
I won't know true extent of damage until this afternoon, when things warm up a bit.
