Here too....Freeze warnings in 6B KS/MO for Monday and Tuesday night which is just about the usual time per USDA. It will go back to regular fall 50-70 degree after that.

Gave the lettuce and cabbage and leeks a deep watering and covered them up with the low tunnels.

Except for a few small tomatoes on the 3 Burpees long store tomato plants, picked all the remaining green tomatoes. I will wrap the Long Stores with gardening fabric and see if it warms up enough to continue growing them.

Emptied the hoses and the drip irrigation. Will secure them for winter tomorrow. Will water with a hose from here on.

Snowing in parts of WI this morning. We’ll be back to the 50’s & 60’s by Thursday. Looking forward to that. High of 39 today, gray and windy. I gathered up all of my porch Mums and got them and decor pumpkins under blankets. Will do the same, tonight.

If my still-GORGEOUS hanging baskets survive in the (unheated) greenhouse, I’ll be able to enjoy them for at least another week before they become compost. :(

Salad greens in the unheated greenhouse are loving this. I also covered the four 5-gallon nursery pots planted with spinach and other greens that are outside.
