Lots of my previous blog posts have gone into great detail about how much I love my garden. With fall approaching, I thought about the bountiful harvests and the great big plants and the warm autumn sun.
On the first night that it got below freezing, which was a few weeks ago, I remembered to cover my plants. Last night, however, I was not so clever. The leave of my poor tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, and basil have all withered and died in the chilly October night.
But, that's the circle of life. The dead plants will make for really happy new plants in the spring. Plus, I've still got one beet alive and kicking, and some winter kale that can be picked out of fresh December snow.
