    Right after I posted that I got a 15 minute mod to heavy downpour which was much appreciated. At first I had the sprinkler on during the rain because I didn't believe it would last lol. This specific area has suffered. Seems like Vonore, Sweetwater, Greenback, and even Louisville 4 miles away gobble up my storms hehe. They evaporate over my house.

    I've not had a downpour in 3 weeks or so and we're bone dry. My area has been very unlucky. That may change today but I'm not holding my breath. The water bill is gonna be nasty.

    I watched Halley through a weak telescope in a special night time meeting of my 4th grade class. Will never forget it. The Phish song is a great memorial to that comet.

    I was happy to get lucky and have one form pretty much on top of me today and got a good heavy soaking. We needed it.

    My heirloom maters started surging this week. Some of the hemp is 6 feet high. Overall things are thriving over here although we're getting quite dry and the sprinkler is getting some use.

    That was a helluva storm. Constant lightning. I was sitting under my deck and a cell phone tower bout 200 yards away was struck. I almost fell out of my chair! Best electrical storm I've seen in a very long time and we're grateful for the downpour. The garden needed it.

    Fortunately, the last 4 or 5 frost advisories did not result in frost at my place. Still, mother nature gas lighting us has been stressful to say the least. Hopefully the threat is over for the season finally. Gardening game on!

    As of 6:30 am I'm showing 34 degrees and no visible signs of frost out the window. Gonna pull off the coverings before the sun gets going. Hopefully we've dodged a bullet over here.

    0z NAM has me bottoming out in the upper/mid 20s, I'm pulling for the RAP at 35 degrees lol.

    I wasn't expecting this much additional rain. Some of my coverings are getting the coffee filter effect and sagging. At least minimal wind so far (in terms of keeping coverings on). Just hoping to bust high here on the temps.

    44 degrees with a light rain moving through. Wind calm so far.

    Scratch that, 21 mph gusts now wrecking my coverings. Hold off if you can.

    I like your setup Carvers! You should be able to anchor that down nicely.

    Annnnnd the wind just picked up and blew off a bunch of stuff. FML

    Alright, let's see y'all's frost covering pics. I'm dreading having to take all of this down and then put it up again tomorrow evening but that is 2020 for ya. Hope it works. I did hold off on planting the rest of the root bound seedlings. So probably 30% of my maters are in the garage tonight.

    Well it's not too windy here and the rain has stopped. Guess I'll start trying to cover plants up.

    Trying to cover the garden tomorrow evening during downpours and gusty winds will be fun. GFS showing upper 20s for here Saturday morning. What a mess.

    I've got around 60 plants that are badly root bound in cups. I'm going to have to risk it and get these in the ground this weekend, otherwise they'll be ruined anyway. Plant seeds in February they said. You'll get jump start on the season they said. Never again.

    Man, 2020 is relentless.

    The 12z NAM had me at 35 degrees with calm winds tomorrow morning. Hoping that was a blip and we don't get a surprise frost. NWS isn't sounding the alarm so that's good. @Carvers Gap I'm jealous that you found wheat straw. I'm all out of wood chips and desperately need something to mulch with. I'm going to call around tomorrow and see if I can bird dog a few bales.

    Even here in the central valley, I will not be putting warm season stuff in the ground before May ever again. This has been too much stress and hassle. Lesson learned.

    I'm thankful to have survived the two frost threats so far. Hopefully we done with it for the season.
