A long fall season
After a mild frost (30-32°F) last weekend, we've had lovely warm days (highs near 70° F) with lows in the 40's. Tender annuals and perennials were zapped, of course, but hardier plants, whether ornamental or vegetable, sailed through.
In our (SE US) climate, it's always variable, and with a mix of plants from around the world in our gardens (vegetables included), it's hard to predict HOW the impact of oncoming cold weather will affect our individual gardens.
There's always the site to consider, and exposure, in addition to how frost affects our plants (whether edible or ornamental).
We're doing an experiment in our unheated education (Sprouting Wings) greenhouse this winter (I've posted about this previously).
It'll be interesting see if we can 'grow' greens in the winter, beyond simply holding them for harvest.
