First Frost

We had our first hard frost yesterday. Yikes. Mid-September is early for the cold we've been having and I'm hoping this isn't some harbinger of a doom-like winter.

I'm not sure what happened to August. Some garden stuff happened, I just didn't do much weeding, or harvesting, or picture-taking. We had great basil, but the cukes were disappointing. I still haven't figured out how to kill the beetles without damaging my plants. We had good beets and carrots, and a respectable amount of tomatoes. Too many cherries, as always, but a good number of beefsteaks, early girls and better boys. Oh, and nice romas, too, this year.

I hate to sum up the garden because that turns the corner to fall. And around that corner is winter.
