A hard freeze overnight put paid to the garden so I harvested the last of the eggplants and bell peppers this morning. I could have used freeze cloth and kept them going a while longer, but after a while you're tired of it and the plants aren't going to grow very fast right now. The next things to be planted in a month or two will be potatoes, and I might put in onion sets sometime soon. We're now in that time of bright cold weather, when it looks like working outside would be nice but the chill and a bit of a breeze make it uncomfortable.

I've been in the front room pulling out items I haven't looked at in ages to list on eBay. This first week or so of December are the best days to do this; there will be last minute shoppers as the month progresses, and I'll offer expedited shipping if they request. If I was really business-like I'd have had all of this ready to go in October.
