It was 27 degrees outside when I got up this morning. I didn't realize the temperature was going to drop so low last night. I hadn't done anything with the plants and the leaves had frost on them. At least the top layer of soil in the pots outside the screen cage was frozen, but the pots inside the cage seemed to have stayed a bit warmer all huddled in there together. I drug some of them inside to thaw out and then put them back outside when the sun had warmed things up some. You can see the big broccoli leaves got a bit droopy. That's garlic in the front middle and the lettuce in the front right.
I hope the soil didn't freeze so much as to damage the carrots. They look good on top. Perhaps I should pull one up and check on them.
The little lettuces didn't get a lot of growth before this freezing weather has hit. I know they're supposed to like cool weather, but I don't know how they're going to do in the flat out cold.
