Peas look fine, frost kissed pods on the edges. They are not developing fat peas at all like springtime. Sweet corn looks like it's stuck for a week at tender kernel stage and won't turn ripe. I wish I had done transplants instead of seed for that late patch. Mostly it was just too dry I think, particularly right after seeding. Last year I had similar timed corn and it did well enough in the raised bed, but it got more water. Red Beets look fine through the frost. Parsnips mostly look fine. Butternuts look okay because I had pole beans climbing over top. The pole bean leaves turned dark instead. I picked them today, two good trays.
The daikon, especially the beds I seeded earlier, heavily, and watered, look just fine.
This is probably the latest I have pushed the garden with so many different crops.
