Re: First Frost

My grandmother has lived 90 years in the mountains across the river in 
PA from you.  The weather there is certainly interesting.  I was there 
in mid-Sep and autumn was just beginning.  No leaf color yet but the 
goldenrod was beautiful.

Do you have a rock and red shale garden on your side of the river?  My 
grandfather always got good yield from what looked to me to be the most 
worthless soil imaginable.
