I would think that they will be OK until they start to forecast a freeze.

That is what I keep 'thinking'. This is the first time I have 'new' beans this late in the season. And my earlier beans barely produced enough to eat... no canning.

I pulled out all the sweet potato vines yesterday because some of the leaves were darkened by cool temperatures. I dug a couple of hills, but the ground is so hard and compacted by lack of rain it was difficult to lift the sweet potatoes out without them snapping.

I so want you to be correct. Thank you.

If your soil is that hard you need to carefully dig those potatoes out not pull. Did you have good growth on the potatoes you harvested?
