i'm going to see how certain types of peas will
weather these over night cold snaps.

it is a shame i'm so tired from doing things that i
don't really have much time to do good observations
and measurements. i don't even have a proper weather
station.

the raised bed they are in is surrounded by some
rocks and slabs of concrete so perhaps those will hold
enough heat in.

i've already been surprised by how quickly the peas
did sprout so perhaps they will all be ok.

good thing it was only a sacrificial round of planting
which i had no idea if they'd do ok or not.
