Re: 2020 SFG in Brooks, GA
Beautiful, as usual!
I haven't planted any peas so far, I bought starts for Swiss chard, broccoli, lettuce and beets, but that's all I've done.

Re: 2020 SFG in Brooks, GA
The weather the last two weeks finally (unfortunately) went below freezing for the first time this year. Usually first frost is around 11/1 and first hard freeze is around Thanksgiving. This year we never had any frost and the first hard freeze was last week. We had three days below 32*F. The lowest day was 22*F.
I still have some fall vegetables growing. I harvested all of my fall planted Bush StriKe Peas but the vining peas are not ready yet. I have flowers but no peas setting on. The low freeze did a number on them and the tops have fallen over.
Garlic had broken thru the top of the soil.
Broccoli is heading up. I now have 15 heads that are from golf ball size up to hardball size. I have been covering them every night the temp goes below 32, although they probably do not have to be covered unless the temp goes well below 32*F. But since I am covering my lettuce, I just cover the broccoli also.
I have lettuce growing outside that I am covering every time the temp goes below 32*F
I also have my self watering, rolling porch planter full of lettuce and carrots. I roll it inside my great room every time the weather forecast is for 32*F or less.
Planter on my screened-in porch.
Planter rolled into my great room on a below freezing night.
A salad we had for Thanksgiving. Lettuce and radishes from my garden but purchased tomatoes and cucumber.
