Much to the Gardeners Shagrin, Frost

1st frost of the fall
"That's it. Say goodbye!" I hear shouted from the back door as Jason stumbled in bearing 2 overflowing crates of peppers.  "The garden's done for the year." 

After our first heavy frost of the season all that is left are the leafy greens, cabbages, cauliflower,  brocoli & fennel plants. (Still a hearty bounty perfect for winter soups!) The last of the peppers were quickly picked before they turned black from the frost. I know what we'll be having for dinner tonight... Peperonata.

 Soon we will turn the ground, cover it in manure & let it rest for the winter....preparing the land to do it all over again next year!

  1. So sorry to read about the frost. It must be very disapointing to see your vegetables on the verge of being ruined! On the bright side, you know what's for dinner! :)
