We have had frost for nearly 4 weeks now but my garden is still producing fruit.

The other day though it never got out of the 30s and then it froze deeply at night so most of the garden died off from this. We lost everything but the cold hardy plants and the pepper plants.

We do have a nice bunch of green beans to harvest yet which we should eat right away because they got some cold damage.

I got about 15 or so bell peppers from our very healthy pepper plants. I also got a nice amount of jalapeno peppers which I will use to make my own chili sauce on a video. And we got some banana peppers as well.

There were some cherry tomatoes left from the plants that died off so I harvested the last of them too.

Our larger garden is dead except for the kale which just keeps growing and producing food for us.

Our smaller garden is full of good hardy plants and the peppers which just keep on going. They are still flowering. I harvested the mustard seed which only gave us about two ounces of seed. It is not much but we can use it in cooking.

We are gathering all the tree bark which comes off our log splitting and fire wood piles. I plan to run this through a mulching machine to cover the garden over the winter.

I also want to get a lot of cardboard and run that through the mulching machine to put a layer over the garden. I want to kill off anything left alive because the weeds are taking over. The sorrel puts out runners under ground and then shoots come up above the soil. When you pull the shoots they separate from the main root, leaving it intact. They have taken over entirely and the only solution now is to kill everything off.

The greenhouse is doing well though and plants are still alive and healthy. The cats are trying to get in so I have to stop that.

Even the aquaponics system in the greenhouse is doing well yet. I may let the fish loose though before the deep freeze hits.
