Until next spring , that is . I'm just biding my time until the first hard

What is "frost?" We're getting low fifties in the morning and in the
eighties by mid afternoon. That's what passes for fall in Houston area.
We're hoping for a mild winter, last year's sucked, we had rain, snow,
sleet, and hail all on the same day. An unusual occurrence for us.

Still have tomatoes, eggplant, and sweet peppers planted last spring
producing regularly still. A volunteer cucumber has, so far, given us an
even dozen nice cukes. Harvested a bucket of Swiss chard yesterday and
probably will get another batch next week. The chard was planted last
fall and still making. We're still harvesting fresh basil from a bunch
that came up from fallen seed in 2013. The weather is strange across
this whole country. I'm not complaining mind you, I despise cold
weather, it's just unusual.

We did plant a fall garden in September, harvested radishes from it
yesterday. The mesclun mix is up and growing and the broccoli and
cabbage are doing well. The spinach patch is just now coming up and
another batch of scallions has been planted.
