Into the Freezer

Snow showers and the first deep freeze of the season are in the forecast for this weekend on the NCR.  Aside from a few light frosts the weather has been unusually clement for October.  There are still beans, peppers, squash and few eggplant in the garden.  Unfortunately, they will be casualties of the coming frosty assault.  The hardier inhabitants like kale, cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage and the Chinese cabbages along with carrots and beets will take this weekend in stride and continue to thrive as we warm up next week.   It will be interesting to see what is left when the Divine Mrs. M and I get back from our Italian tour in mid November.
