       I created a new website! It has my blog and the herbal products that I'm creating from the home grown herbs and flowers that I grow. Please come on over and follow me at: www.katiebirdsgarden.com   We had our first frost this week and the garden called it quits on most things. I covered our peppers, as they have a ton of fruit on them but aren’t quite ripe yet. It was very cold that night, my husband even saw some frozen water in places! The green beans, tender herbs, and most of the flowers died. My sheets weren’t quite as protective as I had hoped and the tops of some of the peppers were killed off.      Since the nights are just plain cold now in the 40s and 50s, I think we’re going to pick all the hot peppers-many green still-and try to ripen them a bit inside and then will either dry them in the food dehydrator or chop them up and freeze. We have Trinidad Scorpions, Carolina Reapers, Habanero, and Ghost Peppers. All of which grew surprisingly well in our shorter seaso
