End of garden -- Beet Day, 4th of Fog, Year 225

[neotoma]

Brought in my cotton, banana, bay, oregano, and Jamaican thyme plants. There's a frost advisory for overnight, and those wouldn't survive. The peppers, eggplants, and tomatillos will probably die tonight, but as they're in the ground, I can't save them anyway.

I may pull everything up tomorrow and scatter autumnal and early spring seeds. Maybe some garlic, radish, and collards?

Guess that means I should harvest my remaining herbs when I get home--I don't have anyplace to bring them in to where the cats won't get at them.

I don't remember what you have, but most of the annual herbs, yes, you should pull.

If you have rosemary or lavender, those can be winter-hardy.

I think it's all annuals except for the rosemary.

If it isn't going to be a hard frost, you could try covering the stuff in the ground. Old bedsheet or tarp. Depends on what your lows are getting down to over night.
