First Frost
We had our first frost last night. This morning, the zinnias in my garden looked like a marzipan delicacy.
The marigolds were awfully pretty, but difficult to photograph because the greens were so dark and the frost on the blossoms was so pale. 
Because I knew a frost was predicted, I picked the squash from my three sisters garden. A light frost won't hurt winter squash but I didn't know how accurate the forecast was. What if we got a hard freeze? I grew butternut, acorn, and hubbard squash. This isn't a great harvest but considering all I did was plant them and ignore them (no watering, no weeding) in a drought year it's a fair return.
One more zinnia pic because they are just so pretty.

I see you harvested some from your 3 sisters garden. How did that garden work out? Any corn harvested? I remember when you started it and was wondering how it turned out and if there is anything you'd do different? Frost here in Ohio as well.....guess it is about time eh.
Hey Ernie, I consider the three sisters experiment to have been a huge success even though I harvested precious little from it. I think I'll give it its own blog entry now that I think about it. Thanks for asking!
