Frost

Several of my marigold seedlings definitely seem to have got frosted last night (they look like frozen lettuce).
I'm distinctly surprised, as I thought they were hardy -- I'm pretty sure the adult plants have actually survived snow, which the poppies didn't -- and these were some of the most well developed of the various species that have germinated, with several sets of true leaves each. Also, other marigolds in the very same pots are still fine.

Nothing else that was outside seems to have taken any damage, but it does suggest that I was wise to take in the possibly-basil and possibly-mesembryanthemum pots overnight...

Absolutely for basil. That's pretty tender
