| Hi- I did a major boo boo and forgot to bring in my plants last night. I'm pretty sure these are frost bitten. Can they be saved??

| I don't know about the melons/squash/cukes? but the tomatoes can be. Hit them with a light fertilizing. Mine got the exact same treatment once earlier. I put them in the ground a week later, and then a few were bit again under my buckets this past weekend. But they will recover. |

| Looks like most will make it. Hope for the best. |

| I did the same thing with similar results :( The main stalk of my plants are fine... hoping both yours and mine make a recovery!! |

| Thanks. I feel better! Aside from the tomatoes I the ones in the worst shape were the okra and the cucumbers. My eggplant was also not so hot, but not wilted. I brought them in already so hopefully no more damage. |

| They'll be fine, although it definitely was a setback. Take real good care of them for the rest of the way to get them going. Mine got zapped some last year after I put them out. Yours are very young though. |
