 Well, Fall fell like a brick on the garden. Hit freezing overnight and thwacked the plants. Since I am not selling this year it isn't a massive blow like prior years. I'm sure there will still be a bit of growth from them but likely the end of the road for most of the squash plants. We are looking at a warm up again so eveything frozen will be mush soon.

I have my #mesh radio back working and mounted on the antenna mast. I'm still trying to learn how to utilize the mesh best but as of now both radios work. I was REALLY happy to FINALLY figure out the CLI to change the damned timezone since it isn't in the web gui.

 Wow, what zone are you in that you had a freeze already last night? 😱 
 NE Washington state. This is not unheard of to have a freeze this early for us. 
 Wow, we are way up in Maine and still have 3-4 weeks before I'm expecting a hard freeze. Perhaps some light frost between now and then, but tomatoes and peppers under cover we typically pull 2nd week of Oct and still harvest cold-tolerant produce out of the field until end of Nov. 
 My greenhouse is still doing fine and normally we get until early October but this year we got a surprise.
