It looks so pretty lightly frosted but I know how you feel. A few of our annuals are showing a bit of frost damage but only in certain parts of our garden. The rest of the week is warm sunny temps in the high 70’s to low 80’s with night temps of 46 to 50F.

It was forecasted Elaine but we were right on the cusp of a freeze, not a total 3 degrees below freezing, I had everything I could possibly cover, covered but that only helps with a light frost @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom
