The same cold front that brought the weekend's rain also brought a return to springtime temperatures -- for a couple of days, at least. Last night's low was 45° F (approx 7° real); actually, that's closer to average Dec-Feb lows than to those in April. Didn't cover anything and the okra definitely is not pleased. Nothing too serious, though. Just a bit wilty and petulant. Expect that a bit of water along with a promise not to do it again will bring it around. Tomatoes, peppers, basil seem unaffected, although, those in containers small enough were moved to the shelter of the front porch roof. Gotta stay indoors for at least a few more minutes, though: Neighbor's still grousing because a racoon (most likely culprit) got the last three of the peaches of which he was so proud and I don't want to be in the line of verbal fire.
