Winter Comes to the Garden




We have had frost for the last two nights. The first night of frost killed my zinnias.
I couldn't stand looking at all that dead, brown mess right at my front door, so I cleaned it out.

The first night of frost didn't kill my square foot garden, but the second night of frost did.

I don't know if you can see what I am trying to show you, but all the eggplants, the zinnias, the marigolds and the green beans all died yesterday. I pulled the eggplants and then ran out of time. I will still have to clean up the green beans. 

I do still have English peas, and broccoli in the garden. They are loving this weather, and just growing great. I have also planted two types of carrots, spinach and watermelon radishes from seed. They aren't big enough yet to decide how well they are doing. They seem fine right now.
