Yep, it did...quite chilly! :-(

The leaves are mostly their normal color...a coupel have white spots.
Darn it all, and I put them back outside today! Well, we'll see
what I can salvage...
I can't direct seed, as I'd have to use all early tomatoes and I
don't want to. I'm in Zone 5. <boo-hoo> Next year I'm gonna try a
few seeds again, and give most of them to my local nurseryman so he
can grow them for me...then I can see how well i did and ask what
he's doing that I'm not! And I'll get seedlings either way. :-)
Thanx for the advice! I'll be sure to keep my seedlings completely
shaded for the next few days...but I have to acclimate them to
outside (plus I have to reclaim my kitchen counters before the
kitchen gets too cluttered to work in! <BG>)
Blessings,
