The first hint of frost at the Fermilab garden was October 17. I noticed on the 18th that one of Jim W's plants had been nipped. However, by okra was not particularly hurt by this. So this frost was very well localized!
October 21 is then the first frost data (see http://www.wunderground.com/history/airport/KDPA/2011/10/21/DailyHistory.html). The following day had a low temperature in Aurora of 0C exactly.
I just got back from my garden, and the tomatoes and peppers are done.
The growing season is officially over.
(But we still have collards, beets, turnips and leeks, of course.)
