The extraordinarily cold Friday night (pict.1) was devastating for tomatoes in the cold frame (pict.2). Temperature at 2 meters above ground -2 ° C, at the ground I assume about - 4 ° C. In cold frame 0 ° C (pict.3) and high relative humidity 95%. The main reason was that from three windows the glass in one window was replaced with only a foil (it broke with me). I once again verified that glass can not be replaced with some PE foil! Tomatoes in the warm frame survived the night in the cool (pict.4), only the leaves and flowers which were directly on the glass were burned by frost (pict.5).

PS.: Like last year, I will not have any apricots, peaches or nuts in the garden. Everything was frozen.
