Regular readers know that the changing of the seasons and their significant signs are very important to me. Last night we had one of those significant signs of fall; a killing frost. The overnight temperature dipped down to -4°C (25°F). We have already had a few slightly below freezing temperatures, that didn’t really kill the tougher plants in the garden, but last night, put the nail in their coffins.
Knowing that the hard frost was coming, I repotted the geraniums that were growing in our window box, brought them inside, and put them on my bedroom window for the winter. The tops of the potato plants are now dead, so I can dig up the remaining three rows of potatoes.
The hosta plant by our front yard had started to turn orangish a week ago, but I thought they looked particularly interesting this morning, so I took the photo below.
