Got up this morning to temps in the low 30's....cold enough for frost! Yikes and I thought I was far enough south to not get this! LOL Sure hope all the crops survived. One of the growers in Hendry County bought styrofoam cups to put over his newly planted tomato plants and then put dirt on top of them to hold them down over night. NBC-2 has a video up that you can watch of what some of the growers were doing to protect the crops. It starts out with the weather and then moves on to the preperations being made. It's on the middle right of the page and is titled: Growers go to great length to protect crops. Picture I posted is of the house behind us with frost on the roof....I took it at 7:45 this morning.
