The average frost free day in southern Minnesota is supposed to be May 15th! Not this year! We are experiencing the last day of a huge low pressure system that by this afternoon will see the winds settling down, the skies becoming mostly clear and the lows predicted in the Minneapolis area to be 35 degrees. This will mean that in the outlying areas – and especially areas that are “frost pockets” more than likely will see frost tomorrow morning.
If you have planted out any sensitive annuals, tomato and pepper plants, and or have hung your hanging baskets outside – take them in or cover them up tonight. Take some old bed sheets out and toss over anything that you can’t get into the garage or porch. It’s better to be safe than sorry!
Then as if to really confuse all of us – plants included – the weather person is predicting the 80′s probably by Tuesday! Then be sure that all of your plants are well watered!
