Juliancolton Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 35 for a low. Had to head out early and hoping no issues with the annuals I've already planted. 35 can get dicey at ground level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BxEngine Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Preparing for Mothers day planting of most of my stuff. Started a lot in my garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishRob17 Posted May 10, 2023 Author Share Posted May 10, 2023 Some how the green beans and peas my wife had planted real early survived the low of 30 a couple weeks ago. Granted the beans took a hit but they are still alive. 36 for the low this morning, up to 56 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 I'd be ok with it if 20 or so days a month were like this. Ok, maybe 5-8° higher but, yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPcantmeasuresnow Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 31 at 5am. Latest sub freezing in awhile. I’ll have to look back into the records when I wake up. I seem to remember one in the May 20-25 time frame in the early 2000’s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishRob17 Posted May 18, 2023 Author Share Posted May 18, 2023 Low of 30, which is my latest freeze here (records since 2005). The previous late freeze record was 31 on 5/14/20. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 The smoke sux Gonna be a long fire season... It's going to get worse too, CA has made it really difficult to do prescribed burns and fuel clearing due to Spotted Owl territory. This means all of the new growth from all the moisture the last few months will be ready to burn by midsummer. There are similar issues in places through all of the western states so there's going to be more fuel ready to burn than in previous years. Yay Looks like at my level on the hill it got to 35°, the top stayed above 39 and I found two 33° lows below me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good morning Rob. Even in the UHI tropics, I stuck to old family traditions and never planted non salad vegetables before Memorial Day. I remember hearing the refrain that tomatoes shiver when it’s in the 40’s. I’m pretty sure they were talking about the plant. Stay well and I pray your crop is bountiful.
