It's Fall, Y'all

We've had a few faintly frosty nights lately.  Yesterday, I went down to the garden to see what havoc they caused. 

The purple hull peas are goners.  It's a shame that I did not get the seeds in the ground a couple of weeks earlier; most of the pods did not have time to fully fill out. 

The pepper plants are wilty, but the peppers still hanging on them are fine, since we haven't had freezing temperatures yet.  Ditto for the tomatoes. 

Everything else - greens, radishes, broccoli, and brussels sprouts - stood up well to the frost.  The greens are pickin' size, finally.  Radishes are ready to eat.  The beets are still small, but doing well.  The broccoli and brussels sprouts look as though they're considering doing some work.  The sugar snap peas have bloomed, but I'm not finding any pods yet.  I wonder if the bees have been too cold and sluggish to do any pollenating.

I have decided that I like fall gardening better than summer gardening.
