| The new growth on my pieris (andromeda) bush got killed. New growth is replacing it, so I removed the dead stuff. Never happened before. I'll be covering those plants during frost from now on, when new growth is present.
All my spring veggies made it through OK...beet, chard, parsley, dill, kale seedlings, peas, lettuce, cabbage. |

| As far as I could see, nothing I had was very affected - the new shoots on the buddleia got very shriveled up, but seem to be still alive - I had covered up some of the pots of annuals I have already bought, just in case, but all in all, luckily, damage appeared to be minimal for me. |

| 2 days worth of asparagus spears had to be tossed (mushy spots); otherwise, all survived fine (i'm convinced the light weight row covers over the lettuce helped because otherwise i wasted time and money). |

| Just some of the annuals in pots (petunias and coleus). |
