Frosty mornings

Just a couple of days ago we were having light frosts in the mornings. The frost was limited to the shady places, but it was there. That's all over for the moment. This morning it's about 15ºC (almost 60ºF) out there. And we're expecting highs in the low to mid twenties (70sF) as we approach the weekend. Wow.

These tire tracks in tall grass got frosty while the other grass next to them didn't.

On Tuesday I made some progress in the vegetable garden. I reattached the fence I use as a trellis for beans and peas to its support posts, raked through the soil I had tilled up earlier, and planted some yellow and green flat beans along with some snap peas. Now it's time to get seeds for tomatoes, squash, peppers, and pumpkins going in the greenhouse. Our last frost danger is typically in mid May.
