Possible Frost Tonight

Possible frost here (northern PA) tonight. The weatherforecast is for high 30s, but that's 55 miles away and atleast 1000 feet lower than we are.We picked: 6 cukes, 3 small pattypan squash, 1 largezucchini, a lot of chard (frost won't hurt it, but it justneeded to be picked), tomatoes, and a lot of green beans,and masses of sage, curly parsley, and flat-leaf (Italian)parsley.I brought the rosemary plant in for the winter. I've been blanching and freezing most of the afternoon. Theherbs will be wait in the fridge until morning, and thenI'll get them into the dehydrator for drying.Growing in the garden and won't mind frost: chard, Chinesecabbage, kale, lettuce. That's all I got planted for a fallgarden, we thought we were moving and I didn't have theheart to plant more at the time. I have more chard, more lettuce, some Vitaminna (Asiangreen) and baby bok choy coming along in little 6-cellpacks, they can get transplanted out to the garden wheneverI have time. I don't know if they'll have time to produce acrop before real hard cold sets in - they probably will.If we do have frost, I'll miss the tomatoes! Pat

I can't help wondering if tomatillos loose their flavor under refrigeration as fast as tomatoes do.

In my experience, yes.
