It got below freezing last night

It got down to 30 degrees.  I knew it was going to, so I covered my tomatoes.  I put small plastic trash cans and jugs over them and then covered them with blankets.  It seemed to work.  When I took the blankets and covers off they all seemed to be fine.  I have six tomato plants right now with plans for a couple more.

Hopefully that will be the last frost this spring.  Our normal safe day for no more frosts is May 10, which is only 8 days away.  Global Warming should at least give me a week, or what good is it?  All the worry about it ain't worth spit if you can't plant a week early.  I should have taken photos of my covering method.

We are leaving for Utah tomorrow and won't be back until next Wednesday.  I have asked Jennifer to keep my garden watered while we are gone.  I'd hate to have anything die out.
