As far as I remember we have had one frost in my area of CT, just north west of New Haven. The gerbera daisies are still growing but not flowering as much.

I have zone envy of anyone who hasn't had a frost yet. Where I live west of Boston, our first frost was on October 15th, and we've had a few.

You won't hear one word of complaint from me though - we've had fabulous weather in November. Great for outdoors work. I've done tons of planting and transplanting, some landscaping, washed a lot of windows, and even a little painting! Along with the usual fall chores, like raking, cleaning the gutters, etc.

We've been spared, down here on the Cape; just some very light frosts a few weeks ago, that iced the lawn a bit but only effected the tenderest things, like Datura and basil.

This is the first year I can remember having all the tender salvias still blooming at Thanksgiving - very nice.

Terrene, didn't you have a bad case of tendonitis, or carpal tunnel syndrome? If I had that I wouldn't wash my windows for at least a couple of years.

ok, I spoke too soon. It's 34 out there right now so I am sure we had one last night!

DTD, thanks for asking...yes I had bad tendonitis that flared up in April. I couldn't dig in the dirt for about 5 months and was miserable. However, with treatment and rest, it slowly got better. I was able to dig with the big shovel a little by September. Now I'm much more careful to use wraps if necessary and pace myself (i.e., washed about 10 windows over 3 days).

It is Dec 2 now and Boston has still not hit 32 degrees this fall/winter. So the record for the latest ever first occurrence of 32 degrees in fall/winter will be broken as it will be warm and rainy for another day or so.
