Well, Derby Day is the unofficial planting day for summer crops around here; generally it's safe to say our area will be frost-free after the "most exciting two minutes in history." Here we are, though, a week after Derby --- and we have a frost warning issued.
No worries! To keep your plants safe, just cover them up. You can use something simple like sheets, towels, or upside-down pots. Or you can get all sophisticated (ahem, like us) and use special
frost cloth to protect your plants. This is sold by the foot and is quite inexpensive. We bought 30 feet of it for around $20. It's reuseable as well, so should last several years.

Of course the frost warning comes tonight, because we spent all morning getting our beautiful seedlings outside in the raised beds. We've been hardening them off for the past week, and they look amazing. We're so excited to watch their progress!
