It got down into the 20s last night, and the thermometer in the greenhouse said 34°F this morning. It’s on the back wall of the greenhouse that’s common with the basement, so it may have been colder near the front glass wall where the tomatoes are. I opened the door to the basement when I went down this morning to warm it up — should have had it open all last night. I’m waiting to see if there’s any damage to the tomatoes.
Yup, three of the tomatoes are wilted, bent way over. I still have some hope that they’ll recover, because the leaves look good. The rest seem okay.
I’m pretty mad at myself for letting that happen. It’s not safe outside for frost-intolerant plants yet, and I need to pay attention to the weather more than I have been. That greenhouse affords only slight protection from frost.
And now, an hour later, the three wilted tomatoes are standing up straight again! Whew! Got some of them outside for some unfiltered sunshine later in the day:
