The first frost is late this year, but I expect it to happen in the coming week.
We harvested the last of the banana peppers a couple days ago and made four quarts of pickles with them. The spaghetti squash will come indoors this weekend, along with the basil and zucchini. That just leaves the bell pepper plants, which have a lot of small-ish fruit on them, so we're trying to give them every possible remaining moment in the garden.
Bell peppers are perennials in the right climate -- not here! Someday, I'd like to try to transplant one or two of them into huge pots to overwinter indoors. They wouldn't produce much, if anything, in the way of fruit during the short days and minimal sunshine, but in theory they'd be big and sturdy and ready to produce heavily when they're returned to the outdoors in the late spring.
