Last night may have been near-freezing depending on your location, and tonight will be colder, with predicted lows of 29, so be sure to cover any plants you want to protect from frost. My garden was mostly fine last night although my chard suffered a little without protection; our thermometer said 32.9 when I got up this morning.

Is there good place to buy chard locally? No store around me (midtown) seems to carry it. And, I think, it’s too late to plant some.
Hi Christine – I believe I’ve seen it at Fresh Market, and Virginia’s might possibly have some. If you have seeds you can seed chard now for a spring crop. I grow mine in containers. In fact, I just ordered a variety from Pinetree Garden Seeds called Prima Rosa that can be used for baby greens after 25 days. (You could do this with any variety, but I believe this is a smaller, fast-maturing type.)
