Frost!

Monday 27th October

What a difference a day makes. A heavy frost during Sunday night/Monday morning finished off quite a few of the plants in the garden as shown below.
The volunteer tomato plants in Plot 4 are............

.........now history. So is................

....the volunteer potato in Plot 5.
The Yolo Pepper plants super productive run..............

.....is brought to a sudden end.
Some of the Spicey Globe Basil which is growing up against the house...............

.........has survived.................

.........and has usable patches of fresh greenery.......

......remaining.
The African Blue Basil has not been so lucky.

It's gone!

So this weekend I can start getting a few things winterised.

Time to clean it out and plant fall crops. I have to do the same here. Isn't the spicy globe the best?

It's so sad! I have to do the same with my crops--all dead because of the frost. Sadness!

Hi tina

I have cabbage, cauliflower, kohlrabi, brussel sprouts, onions and garlic growing right now. I think that will be it for me this season. :-)

Hi dp

Don't think of it as an end but a whole new beginning :-)

Thank you both for calling in.

You're welcomed! Looks like you already planted the fall crops. Yum!
