Freeze

big_dummy
17 years ago

Well it froze the last two nights here in Southern Sawyer County (the 10th & 11th).

I lost every tomato in one of my gardens, and none in all the others. You just never know. This garden was noticably higher (in elevation) then the other garden areas.

Oh well. I still have a lot of tomatoes left. But I will miss the seeds that I was going to harvest.
