frosty night

I'm wondering if my garden got it's first frost last night. I covered some baby lettuces and picked the last of my peppers, eggplants, and popcorn - just in case. My thermometer now says it's 33. Brrr. Once it's light and warms up a little, I'll go down and check.

Fall is definitely here in the coastal NW. We are getting our fall storms this week, lots of rain and wind coming in off the Pacific. The windows are rattling and the ocean is roaring as I type. It is supposed to rain and blow all week. We went from clear and cool to storms over night. Hopefully next week will clear enough to finish up in the garden and put outdoor furniture away for the winter.

Wow. It sounds pretty wild being on the coast with the storms. We could use some rain here.

We did not get a frost last night, so I can wait longer to clear out the summer garden plants. It supposed to warm up in the coming days. Good gardening days.

My next job is to get my garlic in.
