We are 25 miles north of Houston, and should have had the last frost in about mid March. Well, we had record cold on Tuesday morning. We dipped to 27. I had them covered up and they still got hit pretty good. I probably should have had a couple of lights producing heat in with them. I lost a tomatillo plant, and a majority of my 16 tomato plant show some sign of frostbite. I think that most of them are going to be ok. The bell peppers took a hit as well, but not nearly as big as the tomatoes. Cucumbers, strawberries and carrots are completely fine though. It was very strange to have a freeze in April here. So far this year has been the coldest that I can remember in a long time. My tomatoes took a major hit Monday night, Tuesday morning.
