We were lucky in the south 'burbs though - no frost here. Once our trees leaf out we have a nice microclimate and rarely get frost even if the neighbors in less tree-filled yards do. It's fun going out there early in the morning and seeing frost on the neighbor's lawns but not on ours.garden girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13284047851881823280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7864781849969727346.post-69809578978841962382010-05-12T15:55:38.998-07:002010-05-12T15:55:38.998-07:00just this past weekend we heard frost and so I sug...just this past weekend we heard frost and so I suggested to my husband that he cover his babies, (what he calls his veggies) Since he created and built the veggie box and did the planting. :) The only thing we had that I could think of using was that plastic window covering you use in the winter. We had enough left over to cover the box and it seem to do the job.Rosenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7864781849969727346.post-73921466241009066782010-05-11T07:36:40.344-07:002010-05-11T07:36:40.344-07:00I guess Louisiana doesn't have the cool air no...I guess Louisiana doesn't have the cool air now. We are just worried about a dry summer at the moment. Last summer, it was way too dry to grow much of anything. Merely soaking the ground in the morning with water from the hose wasn't enough.Calissa Leighhttp://www.calissaleigh.com/writenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7864781849969727346.post-14505230096849900742010-05-10T17:16:27.227-07:002010-05-10T17:16:27.227-07:00I did lots of black plastic bags with landscape st...I did lots of black plastic bags with landscape stakes.

Then, this morning, I got out early to water anything that got frosted but our frost advisory didn't pan out. Whew!
