Potatoes, dill, rosemary, cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli? It may go below 32.

I'd cover the potatoes and the dill - my rosemary is usually good down to 10 or 15.

If the potatoes get nipped by frost they will recover, some leaf tips may turn black. Does your forecast say scattered frost? There may be areas of your garden that it won't affect. Usually scattered frost will affect the lowest lying areas. Is there any protection around your garden? Your micro-climate may play a big role.

I didn't cover my dill or potatoes and we hit 32 the other night. My cabbage are under row covers. Everything was fine. Hope it doesn't go way below 32 degrees.

tbird, I'm pretty far north. I'm in the Fox Valley area, pretty close to the Wisconsin border. My garden is kind of away from any buildings so there is no heat retention going on.
