Well, it's a *little* early but we had out first killing frost this morning
Got up at 0400 this a.m., went outside for a smoke (dont' smoke in the house, never have, never will, can't STAND the smell of smoke inside buildings YECK!) anyways, thought "Dam, it's COOL!" Went back in, looked at the thermo, said 34°, went back out at 0530 again, just enough daylight to make the lawn appear like it had a slight dusting of snow but alas, twas only the FIRST frost of the season. Went to work for a few hours, came home, conducted a walk through of the veggie gardens, GONE....squash, cukes, peppers, gords, ALL biffed it, pitch black leaves...the tomatoes faired well however, but everything else, gone for the season *sigh*...I love Autumn but I hates to see the veggies die
