The temperature got down to 28.6 last night and my garden had no cozy blanket :( I guess to be a successful gardener I'm going to have to do more than vaguely pay attention the days forecast. Perhaps night forecasts are important too. To show you what a dumb gardener I am, I'm wondering if frost happens by default when the temps get below freezing, or if there has to be a certain level of humidity in the air as well?
Today is the first sunny day after two solid days/nights of down pour and 40 degree days. It's supposed to be sunny and in the 60's for a few days now. Lawns everywhere are looking greener and I suspect there will be a lot of flowers out soon.

You can sort of give the plants a blanket. I've never tried it , but I interviewed a gardener once who makes little forts over her plants with dining room chairs and a sheet or blanket on the nights when frost is likely. How you're supposed to know when those nights are, I have no idea.
