We definately weren't ready for it but the low spots got some frost last night. I don't know how much it hurt things but hopefully not too bad. The corn could use another 2 weeks of warm weather as well as everything else due to the cool summer. Did anybody else get frost and if so where are you from?

That full moon seems to get us every time.
 
We have had a couple of light frosts, but not enough to kill the tomato plants yet. The last 2 years we had hard frosts before Aug 15. So this is real nice. I am sure that some of the lower areas have had harder frost though.

I am in southwestern Saskatchewan.
 
I had a killing frost on my corn in the low areas last monday it looks pretty rough but it's real high in moisture yet we will chop it this weekend.Our highground has'nt froze bad scorched the leaves a bit but it's still growing.

Something I've often wanted to do- float that stretch of the Missouri...I used to help a Juvenile Officer that yearly took several neglected/disadvantaged kids on the float...They'd put in at Fort Benton and we'd resupply them at Virgelle Ferry and they'd float to Robinson Bridge where we'd pick them up at....

We've had a couple hard frosts up north where its higher elevation- nothing yet on the river bottom- and the hay meadows are still growing good for some late fall grazing.....
