You mentioned that you already got frost.

What is remaining good in your garden currently?

Everything. I turned the sprinklers on the garden the morning it frosted and saved the garden.

The pumpkin vines that escaped the garden through the fence did not survive.

Only 10 or 12 ripened here our grape tomato is still going.
rest have only gave greens ones.
Think I will start my own quite early this next year.

I only plant short season tomatoes. I start mine either the second or third weekend in March. If I start them too soon they get set back really bad when I move them to the garden.

In years with an early frost I bring the green ones in and let them ripen in the house. Takes up a lot of space because they tend to rot if you stack them.
