Thank you! Sorry I should clarify- these photos were taken a few weeks ago, according to the Ag gov't site our first frost typically occurs during the second week of September, but we were lucky this year. I think the first real freeze we had was in the first week of October, maybe a little later. Wow- sounds like winter is taking its sweet time down in Philadelphia! All my tubers have been tucked away already!
