So they are still growing in the greenhouse
I did transplant 6 tomato & 12 cucumbers to the garden near the house before the cold nites
I only lost 2 cucumber plants, so it did not get that cold for long
Do you use row covers (frost fabric, etc.)? I bought a 6' x 1,000' roll of it but then rains delayed my planting so the plants were 2' tall before the ground dried out so they were too tall by then to use the row cover. I'll probably get to use it next year.
