The signs were there, so I covered the good tomatoes yesterday. And it did indeed frost last night, enough to kill most of the squash, pumpkin, watermelon, beans, and unprotected tomatoes. 2nd planting peas still look OK.

I decide to tackle those plumbing vents. While on the roof to cut the hole and put the flashing piece in, the chimney and roof cry out for some attention. So I tuckpoint the chimney a bit, and black cement the worn-thru tabs on the south slope. Worse than it looks like from below; I should re-shingle soon, at least the south slope.

Before calling it a day, I gather some of of the nicest green tomatoes from the dead vines.
