Frost on Vegetables

Last night we had a beautiful hard frost. The vegetables that remain the garden were delicately iced. I checked on them later after taking these pictures and they are all still alive and green, no damage done by the frost.

I'm amazed that you can have deer in your garden that don't chomp it down to nothing!

Nice frosty shots.

I think it just wandered through in the dark. There isn't much left in that bed anyways. It's possible it got shocked by my electric fence, but unlikely because that's around the wood frame of the bed to keep the groundhog out.
