The temperature dropped into the mid twenties last night and ushered in our first snow. And when the thermometer rose above 32 this morning all the leaves dropped from our red maple. At the same time the witch hazel in our backyard is in full bloom. We just picked a batch of Padrón peppers yesterday but I’ll bet the plants have shriveled up today. The kale and collards can handle it and the Mache lettuce seems to love this weather. We will pick another batch of that over the weekend when temperature climbs back into the fifties.
We’re not panicking. We’re just not ready yet.
