Crow’s Nest: No frost yet…

October 22, 2011

It’s a bit late this year but we haven’t had any frost yet. Even if I hadn’t been here to experience it I would know because our sensitive fern (Onoclea sensibilis) is still green. It is among our most susceptible plants to frost (hence sensitive) and turns black and dies back when we get close to freezing temperatures.
