It had to happen, sooner or later.
The overnight temperature dropped suddenly into the mid 20's F.
The result - frozen plants.
The Serrano and Shishito Pepper plants - history.
And the tomato plant, the same in spite of being wrapped with a flannel sheet.
The master gardener harvested what she could and we'll see what happens.
Actually we used a green tomato or two as a substitute for a tomatillo in an avocado salsa we brewed up in the blender and it was pretty darned good.
And there were some survivors - the hardy Marigolds planted to protect the tomatoes from insects.
And our basil plant seems to have mostly survived the frigid night.
And so to bed, waiting for Spring and new growth.
