End of Season

The temperature dipped to 31° last night and ended most of the garden. The peppers and zucchini are done, as is the basil. I picked another plastic grocery bag full of peppers I missed in the dark last night.

The lettuce, arugula, spinach, and Swiss chard survived, as expected. In the herb garden, everything survived except the basil, including the cilantro.

Tomatoes did not do well this year, but the peppers were amazing. The groundhog destroyed the zucchini, cucumbers, okra, green beans, and peas.
