BRRRRR!

WOW! We experienced a freeze last night! It doesn't happen that often...in fact, we often ignore the weatherman's forcast. This morning, the first telephone call I answered told me that my friend's vegetable garden had taken a hit. She said most of her vegetables had suffered frost damage. What to do? My advice to her was to pick any vegetables that were ready for harvest and just watch the plant for any new growth before trimming any destroyed stems and leaves. After the call, I went outside and found my eggplant, tomatoes and basil had suffered. Picked the green tomatoes and took them inside to ripen. I had picked eggplant the day before. Some basil is still green so I know it will survive. Keeping an eye on the tomatoes and hoping for the best.
