Time to break out the frost protection and/or take your last harvest. If it doesn’t frost tonight, it will tomorrow. And there’s a possibility of a hard freeze and snow at that!

I took the opportunity between 40mph wind gusts to run out and do my last harvest of beans and green tomatoes. Wind chill was down to 35F and I was happy to return to the roaring fire in the house. Last year we had a few days of cold, then it went back up to warm, and then back down to cold, etc…etc. This year it looks like Winter is going to cold crash on us. I don’t mind, since Fall and Winter are my favorite times of year…but I know I’m the minority.
Just last weekend Sierra and I planted the garlic and on Sunday we took the girls to a for-pay fishing pond near us. Seems a little strange to have gone fishing 7 days ago, picking and eating fresh green beans and seeing the first dusting of snow..all in a span of 10 days.
