Question by tahoe.girl: Advice about gardening in cooler climates?
I live in Tahoe, and the summer days are very warm but it’s not unusual for nighttime temperatures to drop into the 30s. Currently in my greenhouse I have romaine and butterhead lettuce, spinach, heirloom tomatoes, squash, bell peppers, jalapenos and green chiles, broccoli and cucumber. It’s getting a little crowded. Which, if any, of these veggies would be fine outside of the greenhouse and be able to survive the chilly nighttime?

Best answer:

The lettuces, spinach, and broccoli might survive. Thirties is a bit cold, below freezing definitely too cold.
