Two nights of frost during the first week of June proved deadly for some of the unprotected outdoor plants. Some hardy plants like cabbage and broccoli can withstand low temperatures and a light frost, but many popular crop vegetable cannot. Neighbours have lost cucumbers, tomatoes and squash species. Luckily, however, it is not too late to replant. Our growing season may be short in months, but the long days combined with sunny south-facing slopes, warm nights and periodic rain can prove ideal for generating some wonderful edible crops.
