We're having Indian Summer here also.
Checked a few things today, carrots are not quite ready but may have to pull soon.
Looks like broccoli has a few more mature heads about ready.
Cabbage have 4 heads that something has nibbled on the outer leaves so I covered them with wire to let them form up a little larger.
Brussel sprouts are forming but may not make it before hard freeze.
Tried to dig sweet pots. but they wore me out, soil is too wet!!!
This is the best cool weather garden I can remember.

THANX RICH

This has been a most wonderful fall! The days have been a little cooler but so beautiful with sunshine. The last few years it seem to go from summer to winter and stayed there. I love fall and spring!

Wow! I thought we had a nice fall!

But . . . once frost arrived - it continued freezing day after day. Light frosts first then harder . . . Tomorrow morning, the thermometer is supposed to read 16F. And then, 100% chance of snow!

I have to carry the spuds back down to the basement, today. This is nutz running heat into the garage every morning :rolleyes:! Besides, the mice have shown up out there as usual. I've already caught 3. They wanted to eat my flour corn!! May as well get all that off the ears and into the basement as well.

Strange, I moved the millet out of the garage to keep it away from the mice and hung it in the carport. The sparrows haven't touched it! I think I harvest it too early -- to avoid the sparrows eating it in the garden. Have to limit these pest problems. Otherwise, I may freak out at some point and just throw open the backdoor and begin firing off rounds in random directions!!!

:lol:. Hahaha! I think i'm out of "stray bullet" range, but watch out Thistle!! BTW, we had a house BLOW UP in kalispell a few weeks ago, natural gas explosion, turns out, there had been an accidental firearm discharge that HIT the gas line, but no one realized it at the time and the house filled up with gas & BOOM. Luckily, no one was hurt, but what were the odds of that bullet hitting the gas line?!?

I have a friend that moved from Muskogee, OK a couple of years ago to Kalispell.

Depending on who their neighbors are around here:

I'd say remote to passably good.
