How to Know If Frost Is In The Forecast

Hi folks, for years on the farm we worked with Mother Nature.  I say worked with her, as there is just no other Way.  She gives you clues and if your up on some of her ways, well your ahead of the game.  So……………..for those that aren’t sure whether to cover your tomato plants at nights in case of frost, let me show you an easy way to find what the night time temperatures will be.   First  off you need to know what the Dew Point Temperatures, between Noon and One, Once you know that, you will know what the lowest it will be for the following night. Simple huh? Has worked for me for many years.  Don’t be in to much of a rush in getting them seeds into the ground either.  Better to wait till night time temperatures stay above fifty.
