Your veggies are playing catch-up! When will your first freeze be? Mine usually hits about October 15th, but we’re very warm this fall, so hopping it will be delayed. It has snowed on October 31st two years that I can remember, in the past.

Those memories always motivate me to really clean out the garden before October 15th. (Zone 4/5)

Usually before the end of Oct., though not steadily at first. Zone 6 but in a colder section. At temps below 50F (or over 90) toms do not set fruit i am told, and also that we should pick off the flowers with such temps coming so as to tell the plant to focus on ripening the fruit it has.
