Frost advisory tonight
I just brought in all the plants on the deck I want to keep alive for another few weeks or even another season (a potted orange tree, a rosemary, some parsley and majoram).
Normally I'd also be frantically covering my vegetable garden with floating row covers, but this year . . . nah. I feel like a bad parent, but this has been such a pathetic season for me this year that I'm not sure that the ONE green tomato on the one plant that really produced ANYTHING (I got ONE ripe tomato off of it a few weeks ago) is worth the effort.
I hope you make it, oh my green beans (the only non-herbs that have done well), my thriving basil, sage and in-ground parsley, and my three struggling tomato plants. You did your best. The weather was not kind to you. Too wet, too cool. Not your fault. But you are on your own tonight.
