First Frost

We ran around last night covering and preparing for frost. One weather channel suggested the possibility for frost; the other said low of 40. The computer said 34 degrees, so we prepared.

We awoke this morning to 32 degrees with traces of frost in low areas. This signals the end to certain crops - basil is the first to go. Many heat loving crops are already slowing down, so today Ken cleared out the cucumbers and summer squash in preparation for more fall plantings and hoopettes. Soon the garden will be filled with plantings and hoopettes.

During this week the weather looks clear and sunny; we have plans to do so much!
