Woke up this morning to lots of frost on the ground. I didn’t cover my plants last night, so I knew I was risking losing some plants. Turns out it was cold enough, for long enough that even commercial farmers who used freeze cloth, still lost their plants.
I’m sure you’d like to see photos of the Florida frost, but it’s too cold to go outside for this wimpy Floridian 
Those who live up north are used to dealing with frosts and freezes. We’ve been in the midst of a real cold snap down here – the longest in decades. My tomatoes were already struggling – the broccoli seedlings WERE doing well, as was the lettuce. When it warms up a bit, I’ll go out and see how they faired. Honestly, winter gardens are usually pretty lush down here, so our food production and that of those who bring items to the farmer’s markets is going to be severely impacted.
Such is life when we a striving to grow our own food! Next week after the next forecasted freeze, we’ll get back to work.
