Frost

We were down in Texas for a pediatric brain injury conference to see what we could learn for Jaron. We were gone for almost a full week. I did a quick sweep of the garden before I left, mostly picking ripe tomatoes. At one point, the forecast showed a frost while we were gone, but the last time we checked the forecast before we left the temperature had gone above freezing. I thought it would be safe to leave some of the tomatoes on the vine to ripen. 

Unfortunately, the forecast changed back and it got very cold. I came home to a very dead garden. 😅

Crispy tomato plants (although that made it very easy to find the tomatoes). 

Stiff basil. Good thing I picked most of it before I left. 

Bye bye peppers.

My oregano and rosemary weathered the frost okay.

Looks like the kale got munched by deer.

Some of the summer lettuce reseeded and is now ready for eating! 

I ended up with quite a few green tomatoes and shriveling hot peppers. Gonna have to scout the Internet for a couple of recipes. 🤔
