Chuckle - the key word there is 'normally'.  First frost for my garden
is somewhere between early October and early November, first really hard
freeze sometimes as late as December, but usually sometime in November. 
Last fall, it seems like we went from daytime temps in the upper 80s-90s
straight to freezing nighttime temperatures in early November. 
"Usually" we start getting fall rains in mid-September, about a month
before frost and 2 months before temps cold enough to freeze the ground
(mid-Sept is time to plant winter wheat/oats, pasture, etc), but not
this past year.  It turned really cold in November &didn't start raining
much till December? or even later.  However, the clumps of Little
showoff that I was watering didn't do as well as the ones that I wasn't
watering.
