The calendar says it is fall, but evidently Mother Nature missed the memo. Over the weekend we had our first hard freeze. Lows were in the low 20s and a couple of days the high never got above 40.

The kitchen garden took a real beating – you can see the dahlias on the left and the tomato plants on the right. Kinda sad! Almost depressing.

The greenhouse, however, came through like a champ. So there is no need to be depressed!  Tomatoes and peppers are flowering and setting fruit like mad!

And speaking of flower – how about the Marigolds?

But better than the flowers are the tomatoes and peppers:

They make us very happy, but the creatures around our house that are the most happy about the greenhouse are right here

I am happy to report that all of us, David and I, plants and cats are safe, warm and thriving even if Mother Nature is slightly confused.
