Freeze

Freeze. yeah. from freeze to over 25C in one day... does make for end of summer squash, beans, cuce and so on season. frozen for good

 more cold tolerant plants like these do bounce back at times

 this solid chunk of ice was over covered cucumbers. thre were not so many chances there

 these tolerate these kind of extreme temperatures

 frozen solid

 tomatoes after the cover came off. tarp method.

 damages on top

 and some support issues after that

but mostly it could be much worse. like squashes which will go to compost pile or maybe I'll just leave them as a cover where they are o ad to mulch and compost right there in the rows. So summer in our case was over in form of good freeze. Whoever had it in a field have squashes, cucumbers, melons just like mine frozen. I picked several young cucumbers I've missed frozen solid. I wonder how may I use those, I left them in freezer, will be an experiment, never used frozen cucumbers before
