Well we had some frost damage from last weeks early cold weather, it knocked our summer squash and cucs out completely, and also burned our pumpkins, and winter squash. Cherry tomatoes that are 8' tall actually faired well, the heirloom tomatoes have some damage but they may make a come back. We should start to see some cauliflower & broccoli soon, and a few other varieties as well.
