			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After two straight days of rain and a little over two inches total, we had our first frost on Friday night (Oct 9-10), and I decided to not cover anything, though I did have some mulch down around the squash fruit and hardy plants (kale, cabbage, turnips, beets, carrots). </p>
<p>Some plants reacted according to my expectations, but I&#8217;m puzzled with my <a href="http://rareseeds.com/seeds/Okra/Clemson-Spineless">okra</a>. Every source says okra will die with frost, but the plants look rather spunky and two plants have shot out beautiful blooms. Also, my <a href="http://rareseeds.com/seeds/Tomatoes-Red/Riesentraube">Reisentraube tomatoes</a> look quite perky. The <a href="http://rareseeds.com/seeds/Squash-Winter/Thai-Large-Pumpkin">thai large pumpkin</a>, though resistant to powdery mildew, wilted immediately after the frost. I pulled out the rest of my <a href="http://rareseeds.com/seeds/Squash-Winter/Pennsylvania-Dutch-Crookneck">Pennsylvania Dutch</a>, and also the serranos (since they were already frozen solid, I stuck them directly in the freezer). </p>
<p>And this was during homecoming weekend, with Gretchen staying here from down South, and KC coming out to visit too!</p>
