I got my season-ending hard freeze here in NW KS early AM Thursday, 10-20.
I picked a bunch of peppers Wed. afternoon, and the last good tomato I found. Went out Friday afternoon and found a few more peppers that might be good diced and frozen, or good for a kabob tomorrow (planned) and for a few more days. Also brought in my pumpkins, not completely ripe. Hope they go all orange inside my shop.
I still have some beets and carrots that will be usable, but I need to get it cleaned off as soon as it dries and will burn.
I have chard and beets left. Going out today to get everything else into the compost pile. Then to get the garden spot tilled this next week. I would prefer to spade it, and it is not that large, but I have an ankle that will not allow spading- I have never learned to spade left footed. I have tried but it is a lost cause.
