No frost here yet. Not supposed to be any real soon either. Still need to clean up the basement so I can bring the tropicals in.

Corn looks like it weathered it ok.

Beans I can smell them already. Hit hard. Most around here were bright green yet. Could be bad.

We hit 24F night before last. Pretty much put paid to most things.

I don't know what it got down to last night but it is supposed to be 37 tonight. I am not ready for this. We don't have a wood stove, so DH usually doesn't turn the heat on until just about November. BRRRR!!!!

Lows here in the high 30s in this part of central IL. Brought in the last of the tomatoes but the hay hasn't been cut yet. Looks like we're fortunate for being too slow to sell last year's hay because the first cutting wasn't good enough for the horses and it is getting so late this cutting might not be any good either.
light rain likes this.
