Frosty arrived
And frosty will be back tonight, so any squash, cucumbers or tomato plants that survived, will die tonight. However it is October! I've experienced frosty at the full moon in August a few times. Now, most of the pollen that gives us hayfever will go away too! So, get out your wheelbarrow, pull up your plants, harvest your pumpkins, squash etc. and protect them from the frost tonight. I know that you see alot of vegetable stands leave them exposed, but I like to cover them. Why take a chance? Your pumpkins can be cut up for pies or you could just make faces on them and display them. Don't you just love this time of the year, beautiful colorful trees, cool nights, warm days, and especially right now, warm sun in the days. Course, frosty will be here for probably one or two more nights, just long enough to end most of the garden, then leave till the new moon or next full moon. (I put a frightened black cat on one of my pumpkins!)
