Just saw the weather report on my local news, and they're saying that we'll have freezing temps tomorrow overnight silly me 20's to low 30's. Are you kidding me?! Now I have to see what's left that I want to keep growing--salad tomatoes, for example--and remember/learn idk what to do to protect my plants.cloudy-bummer

We have a freeze warning for our area too. I would consider carefully about harvesting everything that is tender and summer growing. A light frost can be held at bay with a sheet covering, but a freeze can destroy your vegetables. I plan to take in all peppers and tomatoes. The eggplants were done last week.

I had too much running around to do that evening, and never did blanket anything. But today was nice, so I went and cleaned out one box--2 tiny eggplants, some frying peppers, mini peppers, and a pile of cherry and grape tomatoes--most of 'em green.
[Recipes, anyone??]
My second box: I cleaned out a squash vine (the critters already enjoyed the fruit of that labor, when the little squashes grew through to outside the chicken fence meant to keep the critters out), old tomato & pea plants, basil--which turned sickly looking weeks ago-- and some tall, scraggly, post-bolt lettuce And CARROTS, which I left in my "bucket square" all summer, since most of what I pulled out on time, then here&there later were pretty small. But I had several that were close to normal size. Hopefully I can borrow a camera to get a picture on here (maybe in the Carrot Week 2012 thread). I've left a few kale plants, with some sparse leaves, 'cause I know it tastes good (some say better) once it's been "frost-kissed".

It didn't up load, it seems. When you get the choice of thumbnail, image or image url, highlight the middle one labeled image, copy it and paste it into the message you are writing.
