October 23-27

We got our first killing frost last night -- down to 28degrees. All the summer plants are just wilted greens now! So, unfortunately, no more basil, etc.

We installed a frost blanket on yesterday over as much as it would reach (it's a 15'x50' blanket that protects cold-tolerant plants down to 27degrees or so). Since it's just a long strip, some things were still outside of it, due to poor planning on my part for not lining up everything for this season. Still have some lettuce (maybe a bag or two), spicy greens, some swiss chard. Look for some more head lettuce in the next week or two, as well as the first Chinese cabbage (a lettucy type; I'll include a picture link). I also have some young carrots that survived, but it'll be a while yet before they are ready.
