Surprise. We have light frost on the ground. Most of the tomato seedlings and the beans were outside, and some were on the porch (with an eggplant). So far, it looks like there wasn't much damage. Not cold enough to hurt the fruit trees.
I had watered the seedlings in the afternoon yesterday, and that may have helped protect them. Some of the water on the plants is frozen, and the box containing tomato seedlings has frozen droplets. Just a bare hint of damage on a few tomatoes so far. No frost in the 10-day forecast. March 1 is supposed to be the 50% chance of frost date around here, and March 15 is supposed to be the day when you can plant without significant chance of frost. So I guess this year is pretty typical. Frost on March ll.
