We haven't had an official advisory, but it has been very chilly here, too.


The past three nights here have been 'frost advisories'. Not the more dire 'frost warning' but could have been bad news. I am at a high elevation but the gardens are, if anything, in an anti-frost pocket.


Beds of lettuce, tsa-tsoi, kale, kolrhabi, and other seedlings are looking good and will stay there until the next round of rain ... supposed to be Thursday but we long since quit holding our breath.

I can't recall the last time it rained...maybe after Gustav? We are also supposed to get some rain on Thursday. Everything is so dry...we really need it.



All in all, not a bumper crop year but we did OK. If we had this and nothing else, we would not starve.


I wish I could say that..
