Garden: First Killing Frost

We had our first real frost last night.  Any lingering squash or tomato plants were starting to liquify this morning as the morning sun thawed them out.  And yet, a few hardy plants can survive.  Onions, kale, peas, carrots, spinach, celery, oregano, thyme, parsley, rosemary, and garlic were looking hardy this morning.  I even planted some new Spanish garlic that I picked up (I wanted to make sure to have a large enough crop!).



I need to get busy weeding and spreading mulching-leaves.  Alas, it's COLD out there! I love my garden, but I have chilly children to consider. I'll get it done, it just may take a bit of time.
