It dropped to 28° F. Stuff in the garden seems to be okay, but dry.
Potatoes were frostbitten, but other than that, everything was frost
hardy. There are still a few blossoms on the Gravenstein, and perhaps
those will still make fruit, but they may have been damaged beyond

recover. I'm hoping. Emerging leaves on my persimmon seem to have taken a
hard hit. I guess you are in a microclimate! Margaret L
