Frost Alert - October 17, 2011
Frost Likely This Week!

 

Greetings!

Keep your eye on the weather! Although a few parts of the state have already been nipped by a light frost, much of the rest of the state and central Iowa is likely to have a frost (nighttime temperatures dipping to 32 degrees) perhaps Tuesday night but almost certainly Wednesday night.
   Now is the time to pick your tomatoes and harvest your basil! For a listing of what else to do in your garden right before a frost, click here.

Happy Gardening,
