1st Freeze-
We finally had our first freeze warning last night, more to come tonite. We woke up to 36 degrees this morning after a cold front blew thru. I actually wore a flannel shirt to my inservice today! I was hoping we would have a few more weeks for the tomatoes/peppers to ripen. I didn't want to risk losing them, so I picked them all. I covered the basil, to see if I can wait til the weekend to make the last pesto for the freezer.
Mostly ripe
These will slowly ripen inside on the counter under the lights
Fall Colors-
With the weather starting to finally cool off (65 today) I start thinking about winterizing the house- closing the foundation vents, we'll deep clean the coop this weekend and put back up the "sun room" for the girls. I also re-do some things around the house- wash the heavy comforter at the laundry, put out heavier sheets. A couple of days ago I put away my summery decor things and broke out my fall stuff. I swapped my summer flowers, for instance, with some fall goodies on my kitchen counter, just a little taste-
I'll probably buy some small pumpkins this weekend and get those out. Luckily I'm off tomorrow on a "furlough day" from work, so I can get a head start....

Oh my a freeze already. Is that average time for you? They are predicting a frost for us on Sun morn. I too better get busy buttoning down the hatches. Love all the veggies you picked. I think we'll have a few more weeks after Sun to grow. Just need to cover one night right now. I love fall, don't you?
ReplyDeleteWe are starting to finally cool off. We will be in the high 70's next week, but for us it's a start. We are getting into the low 50's at night. So I will be planting my fall garden next week. I can't wait. Your fall decor looks awesome.
ReplyDeleteThanks Charlotte and I'll see if I can fix that link.
ReplyDeleteWe usually have a freeze sometime mid-late Oct., it varies...
Wow, a freeze after your hot, hot summer! Last night was the first time we got down into the 50s in months.
ReplyDeleteYes, what a relief and nice outside weather for yard work!
