We narrowly missed an early frost in the garden last week, then as abruptly as that cold front swept
through, the heat returned. To say that this is caused a bit of confusion with the plants in the garden, and the plants in the landscape as well, is a bit of an understated.
On the good side, the Tomatoes, Bell Pepper, Banana Pepper, Hot Peppers, Eggplant, Melons, etc. are still with us and still producing. It sure is nice to run out to the garden to grab a fresh pepper when preparing a meal. And to still taste a fresh tomato is great, cause when ther're gone it will be nearly 6 months before they return.
On the other hand bugs are taking their toll on the winter crops that are growing, and the ones that are just starting are hesitating. The spinach is coming along OK, but the carrots and beets are sitting in a holding pattern.
I think everything wish the weather would just go one way or the other. I guess that is the norm for every spring and fall here in Louisiana, and some winters as well.
