Now is a good time to take some notes on temperatures. Watch your local forecast, then compare to your highs and lows. A min-max thermometer helps with this - it keeps track for you and your can just reset it once a day. I am finding that our place runs about five degrees F lower than the weather service's predictions for nighttime temperatures. We are getting frost when the forecast temperatures are in the upper 30's. This is not a fault with the weather service, it is just our microclimate. This is quite useful information, because soon I will be setting out seedlings I have started indoors. These are the more tender plants that need a little longer growing season than we have outdoors. I don't have a cold frame set up yet, which is the more sustainable route, so for this year at least I will need to harden off the seedlings and must pay close attention to temperatures.
