I was out in the garden today and I could not help but be saddened by the frost burned plants and the frozen green beans. The tomato, squash, basil, and pepper plants my husband and I loving covered yesterday have survived. Hopefully they will live to give us some more veggies.
The sugar snap peas, broccoli, cauliflower, and brussels sprouts are so happy to be in the cool weather they love so much. Unfortunately, the master design is that we eat some crops in spring and summer, and others in fall and winter. You do not go looking for citrus fruits in the summer and you wouldn't pay for watermelon in the winter.
Doctors who specialize in intestinal problems tell us to eat seasonally. That is what I am talking about. I love all kinds of fruits and vegetables and wish I could grow it all whenever I feel like it.
My plants just wouldn't or couldn't fight the coming of the darkness and the dying of the light.
