2025 Garden!

Speargrass as my wife calls it it's pretty Frost hardy. It grew wild along the South Platte River by the farm we used to live on. Unless you are expecting a hard frost I am not sure you have much to worry about. Also depend on variety.
 
Take a look at walls of water. I use those on a lot of things. Beer in Cheyenne we are expecting '70s all next week and 40s at night. Some stuff I'm just planning and some stuff I'm putting lots of water around them. Them things really work and I have a abundance of tomatoes and squash every year. Another thing you can do that I sometimes do is take and build a 2x2 frame over them and use some heavier Mill plastic as a tent cover. Needs to be clear plastic to let sign in but that also holds the heat enough to get us through spring.
 
Got Early Girl tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, strawberries, blueberries, sweet corn, and radishes started. Cold sensitive stuff like the tomatoes or in the water for protection from the remaining spring frosts that are sure to come. I expect to have an overabundance of tomatoes starting in late June IF we avoid the hail storms in that period of time. I got zucchini growing in the four walls of water by the lilacs. They produce so fast I will pull the old ones as soon as they stop producing fruit and replant.
