We're still on the edge -- some in our local area had a quality frost last night, but at my house the microclimates prevailed. I hold dear memories of Phoenix weather, so bring on the garden reports! Pat, you are sooooo lucky!Barbara Martin

We had a frost last night. Everything survived except my brugmansias, which were just loaded with buds and are now a shriveled mess. Lucky Pat, indeed. I am heartbroke, -- this frost was at least two weeks early. Boo hoo, whine, etc. But don't your nights get pretty cold, Pat? Carol (virtually gardening)-- posted by CarolWallace

Our Fall is glorious. Yesterday we drove through the Adirondacks where the brilliant fall color was at its maximum. That morning the high peaks had two inches of snow which was soon gone. The views somewhat compensated for the sacrifice of our cucumbers and tomatoes to the previous night's frost. We have some fall advantages over the desert,Pat, although they are short lived.

» PatK - Hi to all, Yes, I do miss the fall color that other areas have
Hi to all,Yes, I do miss the fall color that other areas have and once in awhile I miss the snow, but in both cases I can go to the mountains of Arizona to enjoy. It has finally cooled down here in the valley and I would like to be planting but it will have to wait until I return from vacation. I have bulbs in the fridge, though, for later.
