Last night the temperature fell below freezing for the first time this fall, leaving the early morning garden edged in white crystals.
A few plants lay limp, but many withstood the abrupt drop from last week’s high seventies fairly well. Clearly though the morning’s silvery, frosty landscape signals another transitional period in the cycle of the garden.
