Jesse: Drat! The Frost Got My Plants

On Facebook, photog partner Jesse Tinsley laments that last night he lost all the plantes he'd purchased and planted for Mother's Day. Of which, gardening/barbecue/beer-brewing expert Jeff Selle offered this advice: "Put some water on them right away ... they may come back ... give them a good soaking ... If that doesnt work come see us at the Farmer's Market on Saturday and we'll hook you up with some new plants." I covered the freshly planted petunias, flower baskets, and baby roses in my garden last night. All pulled through. How about you?

Question: Have you lost any plants as a result of the unseasonable freeze of the last few days?
