Frost

Hi all,

Summer is coming to an end and fall will be in full swing.  This means the first widespread frost for many northern areas.  This is the time to really watch the weather forcast and check for frost so you can get the last of the cold sesitive fruits.  Things such as peppers, tomatoes, and eggplant will all die hours after a hard frost.  It is best to pick them the day before so they don't go to waste.  It has been a great season for many different vegetables.  My bean swere fantastic.  I had so many I did not know what to do with them.  I gave so many away to family and friends and even froze a bunch for this winter.  Nothing better than veggies out of the garden when the snow is on the ground.

Many of you I'm sure had success stories this year as well.  I would love to hear them if you don't mind sharing!

There are some crops that can stand a light frost.  Some lettuce varites can such as a hardy green romaine.  The variety I planted is called "Winter Density."  It's a great tasting lettuce as well.  Beets, radishes, carrots, and other root crops will withstand a light frost and actually, beets become sweeter after a frost!

I can't believe it is coming to an end already.  I'm not ready for the snow and long winter.  Again I will be anxious to get back outside and plant when spring hits!
