I've had to take in the lemon tree, strawberry plant and my herbs because we're getting close to freezing temps overnight now...frost warning every other day, so better safe than sorry. I still have three green tomatoes on the vine...but wonder if they'll reach maturity with the cold, I still water them when needed, I guess we'll see!

Especially after the consistent, stiff winds we've had all day today. I told my husband I think it's getting close to time to yank everything out of the garden and be done with it!<br /><br />Wonder if we really will have a "bad winter" this year?
