Who would’ve thought that end of may is still too early 🤡
Last frost is long passed but around 4ºc was too low, you live and you learn I guess, i don’t bet on this one recovering.

The leaves at the bottom look fine. It might recover, will probably just take a few weeks.

I agree, this weather has been relentless, I cannot believe we had 48° F last night, I mean come on it’s going to be June already, cold get the F out

I’m almost consistently above 50 nighttime temps here. Everytime it dips below 45 I have to bring them inside though. I haven’t had any visible damage yet but I’m sure they’re getting slowed down. My last frost date isn’t til June 1st and I’ve had plants potted outside since mid April. Although the ground keeps the plants warmer, you have to be able to cover them on cold nights. Previously when I was growing in the ground and didn’t have the ability to remove the planta from the cold weather, I would pile straw on top of the plants to insulate them. You just pull the straw back after temps rise again
