It's a travesty growmies, see if the garden held up. June 1st and there's frost on my grass!!
(lemmy.world)
Most stuff should be able to take it, but lots of pepper and tomatoe starts.
Hopefully the bed elevation helped a bit?
Consider covering them if you've got frost coming. I've got a weather alert set up if the low will be < 2°.
Just something simple like this, prebuilt or diy
That’s what I’m hoping, it looked to mainly be the lower grass parts, wasn’t everywhere atleast, so it appears I have frost pockets though…
Wasn’t supposed to have frost, it was 4 last night, but the forecast doesn’t account for the valley it seems. I’ve got poly I could lay across them, but rolled the dice last night as there wasn’t any warnings for the towns around that I saw either.
I’ve tossed some ideas around on my head, something like that is super easy, I can also get some rebar and pound it into the ground with some pvc pipes as hoops and drap poly or a decent grow tarp over. This has the advantage of also doubling as critter guards too with a mesh covering.
I think the neighbours cat dug up a portion of the garden last night… so sounds like it’s gonna be a sooner than later fix ughhh…. Haha.
Thanks appreciate the advice though!
A mini weather station may be worth investing in to lock down your specific microclimate (or see if any of your neighbors have one)
You can get some cheaper ones sub $200, or maybe find one on kijiji from someone else upgrading.
I use mine to run a few home automations too, so it was a no brainer to use it for the garden too.
I asked the wife for a smart fancy one for my birthday, so another week, but you’re speaking my language growmie! Haha.
Yeah I would like one with HA integration for when I get around to figuring that out as well, so we will see how it goes next week I guess!
