[tefer2]

Sounds like we may get our first here in Michigan later this week. I'm sure not ready for it and my bee's are loving the goldenrod flow for now.

We had a light frost on September 6th. Killed my squash and melons. The golden rod held up okay, and yes they are working it hard.

 My bee's have 10 acres of goldenrod to roam, sea of yellow. I'm starting to like that smell... kinda grows on ya.

My garden isn’t ready for a frost yet, but my bees are :-D

They’re going to be like bugs in a rug in front of a winter fireplace in their insulated foam homes.

Same here in Western Massachusetts.  Calling for Friday thru Sunday in the low 30'S

We are still hitting the mid 80s here everyday.

Got probably at least another month before it frosts here.  Sure wish it would hold off till late Nov. early Dec. 

schawee you guys must have a lot of squirrels with wabbles down your way with a frost that late.

Here normally this time frost catch mushrooms from forest.

I think we are going to dodge frost with this first cold wave. Folks in the valleys may well get a light one if it stays as calm at night as they call for. Mama nature is just giving everybody a warning shot to get their act together! It's hard to remember fall is around the corner when it was 84 yesterday.

With all the rain we had the last few weeks, and the cool evenings, our fall mushrooms have been popping up quite early this year.

What's the best season to grow goldenrods?

After two nights in the 20's our Goldenrod flow is pretty much done up here (had to scrape truck windows the last two mornings). 

I don't think we even hit 60 today, maybe tomorrow.  Wild Asters, Mexican bamboo and some other herbs and such in the garden are all my bees are bringing home right now, besides the open feeding I started two weeks ago.

I think this round will kill the goldenrod here in Kazoo too. Not looking forward to winter this year

With an earthquake and hurricane in the same week and a tornado in OC Maryland this week, I would not even venture a guess when our first frost will be. Should be in 4-6 weeks, but who knows - maybe this weekend.  :lau:  -Mike

We lucked out with no frost here. I have yet to see any Aster bloom here this year, but with all the Goldenrod bloom I don't think it will be missed.
