Hey Diana,
Here in Northern Virginia, we have had a few frosts, getting as low as 29F. Gathering a few more things out of the garden and then the end of season clean-up.
I have taken the tarp off my greenhouse and it is getting toasty in there. It is 20x20 and generates some good heat, which I blow into the house so the living quarters is very warm for most of the day and into the early hours before the heat pump needs to kick in. This is, of course, on days when the sun is shining.
Once it gets a bit cooler, I will start my winter greens in the greenhouse.

I guess I'd better start the nighttime 'frost-freeze-watch'.
And pick the several dozen green tomatoes out there instead
of having them freeze - but only when the forecast warrants it.

Hit 42° last night here apparently.
