we've had a few light frosts up until now, but
the weather was trending well above average.

this week we'll be below average and have some
30F forecasts for a few nights with chances of
rain.

nice day out there now, time to get back out
and dig, but first i have to do the fall crawl
under the house to close up the vents. other-
wise we're heating the outside each time the
furnace kicks on.

i hope folks in Aussieland NSW are being
careful and keeping safe.

Jack Frost is due here later in the week so I went out and pretty well
stripped the peppers ( bell, Poblano and jalapeno) and the eggplant.
My large colander is full and I brought in an armful of bells. Time
to start looking for people to share with.

Got to get the citrus trees transplanted into larger pots and put them
in the greenhouse. I have a Meyer lemon, Key lime (from Florida) and
a Mexican lime. They all have fruit on them, so they need to finish
ripening.
