Nearing the end...

We have frost warnings in effect for this weekend. I was hoping to milk a couple more weeks of growing out of my garden but the frost is going to put an end to that. This has been a crazy gardening year with the drought and heat. Lately we have been having a lot of rain and the plants have seemed to spring back to life. Now the frost is going to put an end to that growth in a day or so. I still have brussel sprouts to harvest but those are supposed to be improved by a light frost. I am hoping to leave them on the stalk for as long as possible to get as many as I can. The next year is going to be interesting with rising food prices. Getting as much as I can put away now is a good way to hedge against those rising prices.
