Here in deep southern Ohio we haven’t had a frost yet.
I have peppers and tomatoes still living. And I just planted some more spinach. We overwinter hardy greens and in the early spring they finish growing quickly, much earlier than seeds planted in the spring. Most of the overwintering spinach et al gets planted in early October.
A bunch of great grandkids are down here helping me make compost piles of leaves and grass clippings. Somehow at least one of the piles will sprout a pumpkin the next summer, happens every year.
I am going to try and make some jack o’lanterns out of big yellow summer squash. They will look like beaker from the muppets. That way I won’t have to hollow them out very far, the mouth and eyes would be at the top.
