We have actually talked about the mystery "ghost frost" that comes across the back field and back field only. |
Frost kills when dew covers leaves, then freezes, then the sun hits it.
I have garden beds on different parts of my property, and they fall to frost at different nights in the fall. My patio plants actually tend to be LATER in the process, I suspect because the bricks retain sun heat during the day and release that sun heat at night, creating a little microclimate that reaches just high enough to keep the dew from freezing. My small bed that is close to the house also holds out longer than you'd suspect, probably because there's concrete foundation directly behind it doing the same thing.
In other words... Will work for food. 
Not because I need it, but because I need to LEARN IT.
