RE: First Frost Is Near - Harvesting, Potting, Planting, etc. - A Walk Through The Garden

Loved looking at your garden being put to bed for the winter. I've been chipping away at mine. We've had many heavy frosts here in Western Mass and the only thing growing still is calendula. I harvested more for the dehydrator yesterday.

Sort:  

Good to know that calendula can survive the frost. I've not tested it's cold hardiness. How cold has it survived for you? I have some and was considering planting it this fall but didn't because I only have a few seeds and didn't want to test the hardiness without having extra.

So far, the coldest was about 29F I think. I can't remember how cold it was last year when it succumbed.

Oh that's good to know! It rarely gets that cold here. It can, but usually short lived and we know ahead of time so I can cover with a blanket.
