Gosh-darned Cold Snap

I know I'm going to forget this next year (who wants to remember wilting leaves?!) Monday and Tuesday nights it was COLD. 28-ish? And the wind which had been lashing us for days, suddenly dissipated, at the exact moment when it could have help avert the worst of the frost damage. The rose bush and trumpet vine both lost a lot of new growth. But we had held back planting anything 'dainty.' Tomatoes, peppers, sweet potato vines, miscellaneous flowers, all clogging up the hall just inside the front door.
