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.

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.

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.

The Herbwife's Boyfriend needs his own blog for sure. Yes, I need mountains too! The funny thing about Vermont is that it is mountainous, but the valleys are quite close to sea level. Oh, I agree.

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.

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!
