Gardening in my roots, Sad April

On April 14, last Tuesday, there was a frost. Almost all of the shelling beans, green beans, and hot pepper plants were hit.  The cucumbers were dead or damaged. And a couple of tomatoes weren't looking so good. 

Note to future self in case I ever have the courage to try this endeavor again--the plants at the east side of the garden, away from the pecan tree, were hit much harder than those at the west end.

But it appears some of the beans had gotten enough sunlight to progress. Many of them, maybe two-thirds, that looked dead are now squeezing out a second set of leaves. 'Tis a miracle!





Why is there a potato plant growing in my compost bin?
