Welcome to the Homestead Blog Hop!

Staying warm?

Here is upper East Tennessee, we are at a bracing 26 degrees. That’s cold enough to zap everything in the garden.

When I harvested lettuce this morning, it was crunchy. Greg says to wait to see if it survives. I probably should have covered it, but he said it was cold hardy.

We shall see, won’t we?

🥶

The sun is bright, so even with the cold temps, it looks like a nice Fall day!
