Well, all the progress made in the fall was decimated in one full swoop. The frost that hit while we were in Mexico killed just about everything in the garden. These were those lovely chili plants!
A few things made it - the lettuce, the oregano and perhaps some carrots. The beans were destroyed as were the chilis. Its ok though, we will be in our spring weather soon enough and begin planting the next plot in the Bob Randall planting series.
