Stumbled across a link to an excellent synopsis of frost and its effects via @urbangarden. If you don’t have a copy of A Gardener’s Guide to Frost
Frost: The Least You Need to Know
October 6, 2010 – Posted in: FAQ, Recommended LinksAbout the Author
In the end, this may be the most important thing about frost: Frost slows us down. In spring, it tempers our eagerness. In fall, it brings closure and rest. In our gotta-go world–where every nanosecond seems to count–slowness can be a great gift. So rather than see Jack Frost as an adversary, you could choose to greet him as a friend.

Thank you for reminding us in Southern California that we love the crops that come from frosty climates- but living in the land of orange trees- we should not complain so much about the weather.
No, no, I’m trying to ignore frost and hope it ignores my garden for a few more weeks! The dahlias are finally in full bloom and need more time before they RIP 🙂
I went out to Amazon and snatched up a copy of the Gardener’s Guide to Frost after reading about it here the other day. Larry is ripping through it and we have have visions of all sorts of frost-beating strategies in our heads now. Thanks!
