Planted flowers and veges too early?

I live in SE Michigan and planted greenhouse flowers and vegetables last weekend. The 10 day forecast shows it won't get below 40. That will bring it to about May 17th. Do I have to worry about frost killing my plants???
Planted flowers and veges too early?
No, frost only arrives if the temps fall below freezing or a low cooling fog or mist is forcasted in your area within the timeline you have projected.

The plants will not grow until your area has overnite temps above 50 degrees.

If your weather service has projected a cold snap in your zone during that time then cover the garden with row covers available at any garden center.
Reply:No you should be ok I suggest that you keep an eye on the forecast and if the temps get to low Throw some Plastic over it to cover up your vegetables.I am planning to plant my garden this weekend.Good Luck with your!
Reply:Can you cover them?
