This morning I just put my plants in the garden bed. My tomato plants that wilted up from the last frost are recovering beautifully. Well I just sat down posted the pictures of them on the forum and just as I’m taking a sip of coffee I get a weather advisory on my phone, a FROST ADVISORY FOR 2am TONIGHT UNTIL 8am tomorrow morning. AHHHH, I’m so up set. Don’t think to say what I’m really feeling would be allowed to post. You know it’s like it never rains until you wash your car then it rains. We’ve been having 80°F temperatures but today I planted my garden so tonight comes the frost. One good thing at least my fig trees haven’t woken up yet but my persimmon tree has and Jujube. My husband said he’ll cover the garden bed.

Mother's Day is our cutoff for spring frosts. Every year around may 10 we get a late frost. I havnt seen any hummingbirds yet & they are another good sign youre home free. They know!

Maybe you should wait til Mothers Day for any further heavy lifting?

It went down to 37°F last night. Went back to the Milton’s nursery today and picked up some zucchini plants. They have signs throughout the tunnels saying just as @Uncle Jessup “May 10th is the last frost date”.

I wish I could grow zucchini :( They also attract the cucumber beetles. If I plant zucchini, they beetles come and destroy both crops. I have burpless cucumbers that don't attract the beetles but I'm unaware of a zucchina that doesn't produce cucurbitacin. If anyone knows of any.... please let me know.

Saw this video the other day it was quite interesting you may want to give it a try. Grow 1 zucchini as an experiment just to see if it works.

 
@TorontoJoe I just found this squash that is HIGHLY RESISTANT to SVB, SB and powdery mildew. You’re gonna love this one. It’s VERY SIMILAR to your cucuzzi. She says pick it while it’s still young and green taste like a zucchini.image.jpg
