We haven't had a hard frost yet, but the plants are definitely dying back in a big way, and the Cottonwoods are nearly bare. Next year, I'm growing some Peppers, they ought to like our fiery summers. Such pretty pictures, Rebecca, you're all about the color! Funny to think it’s colder in NM than in WV, but I guess it’s because we’re in the mountains.

I am having fun with pictures for this blog. Soon I should take a new picture for the header, since the maple tree in the backyard has started to get a bit orange... Frost is definitely late here this year. What's your elevation, Kiva? I'm at about 2300 feet. Two counties north of us, they've had a light frost. But none here yet. Surprisingly, it's only just now frosted in southern Vermont! Thank you! I am having fun with pictures for this blog.

Well, we're at 6,000 feet on the continental divide. Middle mountains montane ecology for the inter-mountain West essentially. Does seem like we had an awfully quick fall this year, but maybe it just seems that way because I've been too busy to truly savor it. But Winter always seems to last forever...

I do appreciate having a little elevation here. In Vermont I was only a few hundred feet above sea level. It just didn't feel right, somehow. I am definitely going to do seasonal headers. It would feel silly to me to look at this green picture when I see something completely different when I'm doing the dishes. Wow, you both are so high up!

I am up pretty high, but remember that being so far south makes a difference too, so I probably have many very similar plants to you because you're further north. I can't deal with living without mountains! When I visited FL and MO (both places I used to live) after having lived in higher elevation mountainous areas I simply couldn't imagine living in places so flat and low. They have their own beauty but I need my mountains. LOL I think the Herbwife’s Boyfriend needs his own blog.

Although the village is only at 500" we are at 1,500". I managed to put up and get in my three best geraniums in as well as my rosemarys, some peppermint and oregano, but alas, I think I have made my last batch of pesto for the season- I have a feeling the basil has had it. Oct. 17 - not bad for Vermont. I am looking forward to the launching of the HerbBoyFriend Blog. I think those of us that follow this one need a more balanced perspective. (Once a month!! Now I see how you have time for so much fun stuff!!!) Speaking of Vermont, elevation and frost . . . we just had are first real frost last night, in Sharon.

As to the Herbwife's Boyfriend, I think if he writes a blog it will be a terribly literary appreciation of food -- not much like this chatty business here, I don't expect.

I KNOW there was a frost in our field last Wednesday and our mailbox was very frosty, but I guess the house and the maples sheltered the gardens and they survived unscathed. The growing season lives on! So much for growing season envy. Brought some more stuff inside. A few little ornamental pepper plants owe their continued prospects for life indoors to your blog. As to the Herbwife's Boyfriend, - he gets to appreciate your creations and appreciately washes the dishes- sounds like a good deal to me- very symbiotic. How about adding a literary corner to the blog? Herbal poetry? Nature stories? After spending some time in the garden Saturday, I feel in need to print a correction.
