73 Degress Today, Hard Frost Several Days Ago


Killing frost on October 31; it got zinnias and lantana. Picked a lot of green tomatoes in case, but tomato plants only nipped until 2 or 3 days ago. Alyssum still fine. Started pulling up dead annuals and tomatoes.

Took a look at back fence camellias around November 2 -- they seemed to have been blooming for a few days.

Put some pansies and ornamental cabbage in pots on front porch.

Oh, yeah: and the bit of storm Sandy that we took some leaves and twigs off the trees and that was it. Speaking of leaves, we're easily up to 20 bags raked  so far this fall.
