Before and After: First Frost



Transformation, evolution, metamorphosis, revolution.

Revelation.

Amazing changes all around me.


 

Last weekend, we had three nights of near-hard freezing. As in, it got down to about 32 degrees, but not colder, at least in our back yard, so all of the frost-hardy plants were fine and the plants in protected mini-climates were fine, but the tomatoes and green beans shriveled up and died.




Amazing what a little cold weather can do - it effectively ended our harvest.

  1. Luckily, we picked almost everything already. Otherwise, we could have covered stuff up. Anyway, I love fried green tomatoes and consider them to be one of our greatest autumn staples.

    1. Shhh... I'm going to do a post about our harvest! I'm glad you like fried green tomatoes (I love them too) because I'll likely make them again this weekend!
