Summer is Over
We had a light frost last night. I took these photos just before leaving for LA this morning. The pumpkins and ground cherries took it hard. The tomatoes (those I covered and those I didn't) all got their tips frosted, but the rest of the plants look okay. We may yet have tomatoes this year.
Our last frost was June 14. Our first frost was September 1. That's exactly 2-1/2 months of growing season. This has been an unusual year— still, I find myself asking, how did the pioneers survive?
I've been wondering about this all morning. I'm going to have to go explore the rest of your website to figure out where you are to have such an early frost.

Oh, duh. Utah Life. I've been having problems with "skimming" all week.

We live in the bowl of a valley at about 5,900 feet in southwestern Utah. The cold air slides off the surrounding mountains and collects in the valley. Oddly enough, our weather is more severe than northern Utah.
