Here are some pictures showing the damage a frost can have. Planting cold weather crops paid off. Only half the garden was damaged. The broccoli, carrots, onions, garlic, peas seemed to really enjoy the cold.

Mortgage lifter and super beefsteak tomatoes, butternut, buttercup and Spaghetti squash, Zucchini, Blue lake beans, Amish snap peas, Cucumbers, Eggplant, Broccoli, Chocolate peppers and Ice box watermelon.

I found this young Giant Sweet Potato bug on the screen which protects the sweet potatoes. So close yet so far. We named our new insect pet “Buggy”.

The neighbors are talking about the 8 foot tall sunflower. My next door neighbor said they can grow even taller. My daughter comments how it follows the sun. Pretty awesome sight in such a small backyard.

I harvested most of the Ice Box Watermelons this week. The leaves and vines had withered and dried out. Our family of three just ate our first one and it was a mouth watering delight. Some of the melons were a little underdeveloped. I’m guessing it’s because I planted too late.
