A tour around the farm looking at several areas before a hard frost, and then revisiting the same crops and places to see the effects of a hard frost. The potato fields were well killed down, and not before time. The tomatoes and uncovered peppers in the high tunnel were severely damaged, but it the plants were in decline in any case. The eggplants in another house weathered the cold with flying colors and were fine. Also a brief look at our Musa basjoo Hardy Banana, both before the frost, and then after harvesting the leaves for tamales, and the remnants were blasted by frost. More or less the end of the warm season crops here on Oxbow Farm, although the eggplants will be kept going as long as possible.
