How can I tell when we are going to have our first frost? I know the approximate date is 10/15 but I'd like to know what the weather conditions would look like if we were going to get frost. I have tons of cherry and pear tomatoes that are just now maturing, a couple watermelons, summer squash, cucumbers, chard, broccoli (that hasn't fruited), peppers that are just starting to expand. It's a lot of work to keep covering it up in anticipation of frost, and after frost we'll have at least another month of gorgeous weather.

Stephanie, according to the Plantmap.com my area (8b) will get frost anywhere between the 10th and the 21st. I don't want to disturb eveything that much over a ten day period. Is there a way to know from the dew point?
