We dropped to 32/33 here last night/early morning(Ocala National Forest area).My Tomatoe plants are nearly 3ft high set in 6ft high cages,so it was a real pain to try & cover them.I wrapped as many sheets as I could find(& am doing the same tonight)around the cages.I could see some cold damage this morining,but it seemed only the very top growth suffered-time will tell.My peppers & cukes/squash were all covered in sheets & seem fine.Newly sprouted beans seem OK also,but I think they will be stunted for a while.I took a chance planting/setting all these out so early,as my frost clear date is around March 20th or so,but if I get a few ripe tomatoes right about then,I'll be happy.I will have one or two small greenhouses up & running by this time next year,so will not need to gamble on getting my Spring plants in the ground so soon.

Looks good for the Pittsburgh area. We're fifty miles south and use the 20th of May for the spring. Carol

On thing that occurred to me, based on @chispa's comment is: We currently have a shower curtain. While I can't see through it, I can pull it back to see if something is going on in the bathroom. My husband sometimes comes in to brush his teeth. A dog pushes in to get water (we have an old dog that mostly stays upstairs, so we provide a water bowl.) Sometimes I peek out to see what's happening. With a shower door that's textured, I can't do that unless I open the door. I read frosted is hard to maintain--it can get scratched. I do like textured--I think I like fluted or reeded--but I'm reading those cost 3x as much. I'm guessing we'll go with clear. I'll see when we get closer to a decision. I'd be counting on it to fog up. I don't need to look at the toilet while I'm showering. As for when it's not in use, maybe we'll spend a little more on nice fixtures and try to keep the shampoo neat.
