First frost
I can’t quite believe I’m writing that on the 23rd of November, but seriously. My nasturtiums have keeled over overnight, and that I think is the sign.
Of course, it’s been a wet and miserable morning, so no sign of frozen frostiness anywhere. Windy too. Lovely day for staying indoors!

I’ve never written it down before so I can’t be exact, but gut feel says it’s about a month later than I’d expect. I live a lot nearer the South coast than I used to so I may be over-estimating by a couple of weeks. I know my parents (who live maybe 100 miles North of here) got frost much earlier.

Our frost is now reliably two weeks later than before. Used to get it October 9-10; lately it’s been late October. We might get a very light frozen dew in the low parts of the garden around the normal time, but not what I’d call frost. Plus, this year, it only frosted twice; I’m still waiting for several days of frost. It’s weird. But, of course, we expect Barack will fix all this. ;)
