White frost, dark & cold; covered the kidney beans with straw last night.  My annuals, which were left open, much injured by the frost: the balsams, which touched the glass of the light, scorched.  Kidney-beans injured, & in some gardens killed.  Cucumbers secured by the hand-glasses but they do not grow.  The cold weather interrupts the house-martins in their building, & makes them leave their nests unfinished.  I have no martins at the end of my brew-house, as usual.
