The end (of my blog) may be coming

K, I've been told that this week is when they will be tightening the network security at work. So if you don't hear from me except on weekends, please don't be surprised. Of course, how consistent have I been so far with my updates???

end of my blog? I hope not...

I've been informed that changes are coming to my workplace. They are going to be locking down the network even more. I'm not surprised at all. Well, that's not entirely true. I'm surprised it took them this long. Anyway, there is a good chance that i won't be able to update my blog as often. Yes, it's true, my current work is such that i really do have enough free time here to occasionally update my blog. I'll try to keep you posted as to when this fateful day will happen.

Corn, frost, the end of the garden mostly

This is the first cob of corn i picked from my garden. I picked it last Saturday. The edible portion was just shy of four inches long. But it was fun to eat it knowing it came from my garden. Especially since i'd heard i probably wouldn't get any at all. I've picked about twelve cobs so far. All of them smaller than this one, but oh so cute!

Monday i pulled up all of the warm weather plants - tomatoes (no! say it isn't so!), peppers, zucchini, cucumbers, beans, and watermelon (only had flowers, not even the tiniest melon). The tomatoes plants are in the garage. I'm hoping to get a few more ripe or at least pink tomatoes from them. We'll see. That leaves the corn, leeks, kohlrabi, beets and lettuce. For the most part, the gardening season at my home is over. so sad. :-)

The reason i pulled up the plants is because there was a prediction of a hard freeze for this week. It hit Wednesday night. What is a hard freeze? Thirty-two degrees. Ouch. I woke up Thursday morning to frost on the grass. Keep in mind, i didn't go outside til about 9:30am and there was still frost on the grass!
