Small garden; 12' x 30'. Beans, carrots, beets, radishes are all up
about 2". Which of these are the most likely to have to be covered.
Thanks to the group for replies. harley


UNSEASONABLY COOL AIR WILL MOVE INTO IA. TONIGHT & DROP TEMPS INTO THE
LOW TO MID 30S ACROSS MUCH OF THE STATE. EXPECT FROST TO DEVELOP DURING
THE EARLY MORNING HRS SUNDAY.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS.

A FROST ADVISORY MEANS THAT FROST IS POSSIBLE. SENSITIVE OUTDOOR PLANTS
MAY BE KILLED IF LEFT UNCOVERED.

If any of them, the beans, I think. The root crops should be able to
take a light freeze (although I really don't know about beets, never
having grown them.)

Good luck!
