It's always worth documenting the variance of your local microclimate (your thermometer; your yard) from the "local" forecast. For me, as winter approaches, my overnight low temp is often about 5°F lower than my "local" forecast. And with even gently sloping of land, the lower areas get colder, within a single acre.

Solid advice, Bob. I'll definitely be getting myself a thermometer for the garden area now.
This is great info. Thanks, Knucklehead. Makes me think I've got a chance at salvaging some.Minimizing frost damage

Well, had a pleasant surprise when I got home from work. Those plants rebounded incredibly well. What I thought was certainly going to be a complete loss, looks like it will only be a 5-10 percent loss. It's amazing, some of the delicate oriental leaves were frozen crispy and dark dark green this morning, and this afternoon look perfectly fine.
Just hang the leaf. Once it has color-cured, most of sand and dirt will either drop off or can be easily brushed off with your fingertips.

Nice haul!
Thanks, Bob. That's what I was hoping to hear!
Thanks, Knucklehead! I'm very happy with it. Very excited to see what it turns into.Nice haul!
Hey guys. I've got my Virginia's and Orientals yellowing in piles. Today I checked in the middle of a pile to see what was happening and felt it was getting warm in the center. Is this normal or am I making compost?

Normal. You may need to break down the pile and rearrange it. Top to bottom middle to top. Keep an eye out for mold.

Bottom leaf can sun-cure like that. Upper leaf usually cures to a darker color. It looks almost flue-cured. Stuff a bit into a pipe, and see what you've got.

Wish i could stuff some in a pipe...cant find the one i want!
I'm thinking I should get a few clay pipes for the sampling process. I tossed some in a pipe and it tasted a lot like skiff mixture with tongue bite.
These are great. They have clays and cobs.
