First Frost, Last Chance, Note to Self
Note to self. Next year near the end of October, check weather.com on a daily basis to prevent forcing husband to get out of a nice warm bed to carry potted plants in at 1AM. He apparently does not like this.
Your blog is adorable! I would like to add it to my faves if you don’t mind. Just let me know.
I love knowing what flower I am!

I think that frost was just for pretend. By noon, the temperature was in the sixties. My tomatoes continue to ripen.
Heh…guess he couldn’t appreciate the emergency, since they weren’t HIS babies! 🙂
He actually gets UP at 1 a.m. when you tell him to do that? Please post your husband-training tips ASAP.

Diane – Of course you can add me to your favs. Glad you came for a visit. 🙂
Matt Wilson – It wasn’t heavy but my topical plants can’t tolerate it at all. The basil took a hit as well.
lisa – too true!
Robin (Bumblebee) – Many long years of a careful balance of nagging and snuggling. 😉
Had I ever asked my wife to get out of bed at 1am for any reason, I would not be alive to write this now. This man is an angel.
Your husband should do what I do every year, tell you gardening is over for the summer, say we’ll replant new pots in the spring, then pull on his wool socks and robe and bring those plants in post haste, if he knows what’s good for him.
Ho ho – mine would file for divorce.
My husband sends his deepest sympathy!
Thankfully we dont get frosts here — otherwise there’d be some chilly moments if I suggested my wife should do anything similar!
This is too funny! I did the same thing to my husband, though our frost came a few weeks later.
potted plants at 1am….nothing like preparing for the season.
