Right before the frosts, we had some sunny days and a few vegetables, herbs, and edible plants were still putting out flowers.

• Zucchini squash was robust, but the larger leaves were withering.    Last blossoms and small fruit was harvested mid-October.
• Arugula is a cool weather plant and many will survive the first frost.   One plant was even setting flowers.   We harvest the younger leaves and they store in the refrigerator for some time, mixed in with lettuce or spinach.
• Nasturtiums are grown as ornamentals, but also eat the flowers in  salad.
• A few tomato plants were still producing and some flowers were still hanging on.
• Chamomile flowers reseed and then flower in stages over the whole season.
• Peas are frost tolerant until it gets cold, but they stop blooming with the first frost.
