Pulled a few beets and carrots yesterday and added them to a beef stew that Mrs. Augie was putting together. Yummy.

Woke up this morning to frost on the ground. The tomatoes have been hanging in there pretty good but I’m afraid that will be it for them.

Yep, they don’t do well with frost. I chopped off all the branches that had flowers, and stuck them in water to form roots. Dug up two smaller plants and stuck them in pots.

Picked all the remaining green tomatoes to let ripen. There weren’t many. I covered up a few things with plastic, will try to finish the job by tomorrow night. It’s supposed to get to 27 degrees here.

I hate the cold, but the good news is that if we get that cold weather, I can plant the winter wheat.LOL

We have freeze warnings all around us tonight. For some reason, it doesn’t show that way on the 5day forecast till tomorrow night though.

How about you? Are you in the freeze zone tonight?
