My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Harvesting/Winterizing after an early snow in October?

16 years ago

It's October 10th and there's already snow on the ground and I had no time to cover my plants. I have roses and vegetables; jalapenos, habenaros, and cayennes; that I'm worried about in the garden. Should I harvest the vegies now? It started getting cold a weeks ago, but I left them in the garden to ripen a bit more.

Also, I'm not sure what to do about my roses I haven't been able to cut them down yet to cover them. Will the snow hurt them? Hopefully the snow will melt soon.
