My daddy always said that the collards and turnip greens were better after thay had been hit by a frost, a little sweeter. I didn't have any frost until the early morning of Dec 1st, but it was heavy enough that everything is brown now with the exception of my peppers. I don't understand why but I seem to be a few degrees colder than Mobile and I'm several miles south of there down almost to the coast, maybe a couple of miles from the coast. Quiet a cold front that came through last night. Yesterday afternoon actually. We had 53 degrees and Pensacola was 72 at about 4 pm.
I had a couple of gourds that I was hoping would mature before frost, but they bit the dust.
What's an EE?
