Our first frost here in southern Vermont, at least at my house, was Friday night. Sometime after midnight probably which really makes it October 13th. And there was a frost the next night too. So gardens are pretty much gone.In some ways, it's a relief. Now I can clean out this year's garden remnants and start with a clean slate in the spring.
The broccoli survived these two frosts. As did the kale (no surprise there) and the chard. Both were covered at night because I want to eat them as long as possible.
The beeshives are now side by side and protected by bales of hay on three sides. I will cover them with either plywood of a piece of tin roofing material. And just hope they survive.
