We are expecting a low of 32 F tonight, and 27 F tomorrow night. I went around after work and took some photos, mostly close ups, before picking green tomatoes and the last of the peppers. I figured out I have to put captions in order for the photos to line up side by side. I wrote a few, but am going to just put an "A" for annual and "P" for perennial because I need to put my link on Jean's
Bloomin' Tuesday post and get off the computer soon.

I wish I would have thought to pick a bouquet this evening. Well, at least I have these photos. I am sorry for the slapdash way I did this post. I need to not post so many photos if I don't have time to label them consistently. Stay warm, wherever you are. Some of you probably would like to see some cooler temps.
Added 10/19: The way I had the photos labeled bugged me, so I went ahead and labeled the blooms. I have noticed I am inconsistent in my use of scientific and common names. That will probably continue, because I am too scatterbrained to be consistent in that area. Besides, in my mind, some plants are called by the common name, and others at least part of the scientific name. Thanks for your patience.
It didn't get as cold as it was supposed to last night, but they are saying the low for tonight is supposed to be 30 F. Brr!
