Technically, it's now 2013 but our garden is still hanging on from fall 2012 . I'll probably replant in February but thought I'd share one last fall update. Since, thankfully, the frost didn't kill everything!
Above is our orange tree with just a few fruits this year. Our tree is new just 4 short years old. This is the first year the fruit actually tastes like oranges instead of just water!
Also, the lettuce, kale and carrots held on through the frost, I covered them with a blanket/quilt at night and let them sun during the day.
Unfortunately, our pumpkins and winter squash didn't make it, and we never got to enjoy their fruit. This year I'll make sure to have seeds in the ground no later than August 1st!
