Cold Weather Coming...preparations part 1


Things to get done in preparation for a possible frost night:

  • Cover lettuce and other crops I am still holding that I don't want "frosted"
  • Cut back the plants that I am bringing in for winter so they fit through the door (and then some)



  • Put cold sensitive plants in the garage for the night
  • Harvest the rest of the peppers
  • Water the root crops that are staying in the ground a little longer
  • Take some pictures of the garden as it goes into a new color season (the sugar maples and flowering kale are really kicking in this week)
  • Cover my lone tomato plant that I am going to see how long I can keep going next to the house
  • Start using only rain barrel water so they are empty by the time it freezes
allysum, flowering kale, sedum and sugar maple
Heliotrope and lemon verbena
I wish you could smell this planter right now
