Final garden peppers

Last night it got very cold - upper 20s; and it's stayed very chilly today. Milk a little down, just 1 1/2 quarts.

Yesterday picked the last of the peppers outside in the garden; there were a whole lot of "king of the north" on the one plant under the tarps, about 15, probably 10 of them red, and a good many "nardello". Also picked the persimmon crop (about 5). Tarped the winter veggies, the fall broccoli has heads peeking out. It's getting dark very early now.
