As Gareth mentioned, a killing frost in areas of the North East.

Did anyone else feel like the Titanic.....that sinking feel that you 
might be leaving a chile or mater as you try to pick the best ones 
while the others not mature enough are yelling pleadingly "pick me, 
pick me"???

I picked a lot of stuff and then covered the rest with heavy tarps 
and hoped for the best.  We certainly got a heavy frost, only around 
27 degrees this morning on the way to rock pile (read "wirk").  Tis 
the season but sad for sure.  The carribeans put out a few but habs 
very immature.

I did look kinda funny as I juggled several collendars full of stuff, 
stopping every few feet to pick those that overfloweth to the ground.

......nice weather coming the next 4 days or so tho'.
