Garden update - Frost May 4th!

My garden is doing well, but we may get frost tonight!  What the heck?  Last day of frost for my area is April 15th.  Its May 4th!  The bell peppers are just now starting to flower after being frosted a month ago.  I put in watermelon and cantaloupe last weekend.  I guess I am going to have to cover the tomatoes, potatoes, strawberries, bell peppers, watermelon, cantaloupe, zucchini, cucumbers, and the green beans, which are just coming up, ugh!

Update May 5th, 2011:  It frosted.  The grass was crunchy, and there was frost on the top of my car.  I am going to take the covers off the garden at 9 am, since the frost advisory went until 9 am.
