Last night it dipped down to 26 degrees. I forgot to cover the garden before I went to bed. I'm sure you can figure out the rest of the story.
I have a small glimmer of hope that some of the plants will rebound, but that glimmer fades a little more each time I inspect the damage. If only I would have remembered to cover everything--I guess that's why they say hind sight is always clearer.
I was really excited for my garden this year too. I started all my transplants from seed way back in March and nurtured them into big lovely plants until they could "safely" be planted in the garden. I carefully selected each seed variety so my garden would produce exactly what I wanted it to. It wasn't like I went to the nursery and picked a few plants up from the meager variety in stock. But now I'm afraid that's what I'll have to do if I want to pick tomatoes, squash, melons, or anything of their sort from my garden this year. Oh well. Life goes on.

Oh, that is so disappointing especially after so much work! I think I would have cried. Aren't we glad we don't live when that would have been your only food? Good luck!
I would have cried too. Im so sorry - you need to catch a break. :)
