    On the news tonight it showed that we may have a chance of getting our first frost tonight. I had the twins go and cover up the tomatoes with a tarp (in the pouring rain no less) and am just praying that the frost stay away. I still have beans on the bushes that need another few days before I...

    They were predicting chance of frost here last night. It did get cool +4 Celcius which is roughly 36 F., but I haven't heard yet if anyone else in Manitoba got frost. How about you, have you had frost or are getting close to having frost?
