Coeur d' Alene Freeze Warning from the National Weather Service

The Weather service has issued its first Freeze Warning of the 2008 Fall.

So watch out for your gardens tonight, you don't want to let your veggies get frostbitten! Some plants, like Tomatoes don't need freezing weather before they have problems. Tomatoes plants become damaged with temperatures as warm as 45 degrees.

Supposedly the weather's going to improve for the rest of the week so you won't have to worry about the freezing weather again for a little while.
